As the title of the question suggests, I'm having an issue with my laptop regarding my graphics card and the BSOD. I have a big feeling the issue has to do with my Nvidia graphics card, as when I open device manager and check the display adapters, when my GPU is there, my computer shortly BSOD itself later, and when I check the device manager again, my Nvidia GPU is not there anymore. The computer works fine after the restart caused by the BSOD as well. Also, when I play a game while my Nvidia GPU is on, it will stall the BSOD before it happens. I think this is due to the GPU being utilized, and when it isn't, it crashes after some time. I also want to mention when I shut down my laptop and turn it back on after a while, my GPU will show up again on the device manager. But again, it will BSOD and stop showing up after the restart. Help me out!

Specs:
Laptop Model: Asus ROG GU501GM
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz 2.21 GHz
Installed RAM: 32.0 GB
GPU: GTX 1060

I would run DDU in safe mode, remove the current Nvidia drivers
and install the latest from here and see if you still have issues - https://www.asus.com/supportonly/GU501GM/HelpDesk_Download/

It seems like my computer works, but when I restart it or shut it down, it takes a while before it does, and then I get BSOD'd. Hey, at least it's not happening like the way it was before. We'll just say this problem has been solved for now. Thanks!
