Solution


so he should delete all NVIDIA drivers, update the CPU drivers, and the Reinstall the NVIDIA ones? and if so how do you access those?
 


The cpu is fine and as far as i know "AMD multi-vendor Miniport Driver" could be disabled and is not really the main cause of this. the "NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver" is behind the crashes

Use ''Run'' and type ''regedit''
HKEYLOCALMACHINE > SYSTEM > Currentcontrolset > control > graphicsdrivers. Right click ''graphicsdrivers'', click new >Dword (32-bit) value. Modify the value to 8

delete ALL of the graphic driver installed (the nvidia one). It will swap to the build-in one on your motherboard.
Then use driver sweeper, select nvidia, and let it erase ALL of your nvidia driver files.
then re-install the nvidia driver through the installation CD you got with the graphic card, and dont get any updates.

hope this helps

thank you, just one more thing, the he dosent have a cd driver so he cant use that so should what should he use, and where can i find "Driver Sweeper"
 


try going on the gpu manufacturers website (Gigabyte, msi, zotac.....) and finding the driver for the 1050ti, driver sweeper could just be found by searching it on google
 


Okay, does he have to get the original ones or can he get updated drivers? and where can i find the Driver Sweeper tool?
 


I would advise on getting the original ones first then seeing if it fixes the problem then updating to the latest ones through geforce experience, driver sweeper was replaced by "display driver uninstaller", here is the download "http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html"
 


Try going on gpu manufacturers website (msi, gigabyte, evga) to find the driver for the 1050ti.
Driver sweeper could just be found with a Google search
 


thank you so much i am walking him throught the steps and one last thing with the driver s weaper does he need to remove only NVIDIA gtx 1050ti drivers or also the AMD cup ones
 


sorry for the late responce,

only the nvidea drivers,
i doubt cpu really has a part in this, as far as i know the driver thats causing the amd error is optional and if you dont know what it does i suggest you leave it
