So I spilled some sprite on my GTX 960 a couple of weeks ago and I got it changed with my brother GTX 660. I did not see any traces of the drink anywhere else but the 960 so changing it out would not be an issue. I reset windows 10 and installed the latest drivers for the 660 from geforce experience. but my pc still has problems (some that I had before the accident). I always had to reset my pc atleast once in order to get a "lucky" boot that boosts my fps by a lot. I always had this problem....but now I have to keep restarting and I am not getting the "lucky" boot as often. I also got some random crashes where my pc just completely shuts down and I hear my fans rev up to max speed for like 3 seconds.

I also get this Event (AND THIS IS THE MAJOR ISSUE)
nvlddmkm cannot be found crashes

The description for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

\Device\Video3
155c(3bf8) 00000000 00000000 <<<<<NOTE THIS ENDING CHANGES

I get plenty of these even when I am not playing any games. When i try to play games I get these more frequently and I get a sound and video stutter.
I also have some BSOD issues every now and then, but I managed to get some random dump files for them. I do not know what is wrong with my PC.

Anyways, hopefully these dumps contain useful info.

Specs:
OS- Windows 10 Pro 64 bit
Mobo- Asus z97 -ar
CPU- Intel i5 4690k
Memory- 8192MB Corsair Veangance
GPU- Nvidia Geforce GTX 660 SC
HDD- Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500 GB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s with NCQ 16MB Cache 3.5 Inch Internal Bare Drive ST3500413AS
PSU- EVGA SuperNOVA 750 B1 80+ BRONZE, 750W Semi Modular 5 Year Warranty Power Supply 110-B1-0750-VR
BTW I have monitored my CPU and GPU temps and they seem to be fine.
And 1 more problem I found is that the voltage on my GPU seems to be low in HWMonitor. It is around .875 V but I read somewhere that it should be 1.175 V. I am also thinking that it might be just HWMonitor that is detecting the voltage wrong but idk.

I am also going to provide reports from driver view and system information

My advice is to downgrade the drivers to either 365.19 or 365.10. If you are using the 365.19 I do know the .22 came out today. Another thing I would do is try cleaning out the pci slot with rubbing alcohol and q-tips. Then when its dry use air in a can and remove remaining dust. You could have some sugar residue that got stuck and collected dust. Also that issue with the lucky boot. Why not just replace the motherboard? Your Event ID 14 has a large base of causes for that error to happen. But also remember do select the clean install when ever you reinstall any driver from Nvidia.

I have been using 365.19 and I even downgraded all the way to 362.00 but still no hope. My mother board also has 2 pci slots so I even switched the gpu from one slot to the other but nothing happened. I plan on RMAing the MOBO, but I am not sure if it is the MOBO or the power supply.
