Question Difficult GPU driver issue

[ConfusedAardvark]

I'm getting a DPC_WATCHDOG BSOD about 1 -2 times a day. I've had this problem since March.

After analysing my DMP files I found that the issue pointed to my GTX 1080 drivers. After changing my motherboard settings to only use the internal graphics the problem went away. So I know the issue has something to do with the GPU.

I have updated my Windows 10 serveral times over the months and I have installed over 10 different 1080 drivers using a tool (DDU) to do a clean removal each time. If this is purely a driver issue I have no idea how to resolve it.

There are other diagnostics I've done. I.e Memory checks, driver verifier but they also all pointed to the GPU so I haven't really mentioned them.

I'd extremely be greatful to anyone who could give me advice/ further diagnostics to do.

Specs:
Windows 10 64bit
GPU: Nvidia 1080 GTX (Gigabyte)
RAM: 2x 16GB
CPU: Intel Core i5 Skylake @ 3.20GHz

What is your PSU make and model also?
Whilst by the sounds of it is only GPU drivers, a faulting GPU can cause it to appear as though the drivers are crashing.

How did you analyse the dump file?
Driver Verifier also pointed to the GPU?
Does this occur regardless as to which version drivers you use?
