Hello all, I am sorry for a few reasons 1) if this thread is in the incorrect place, as I am new to the site, and have no idea what im doing 2) if this has been posted on before. I have attempted to use others strategies to solve my issue, but sadly none of it seems to work. So anyway...let me start from the beginning....
About 3 months ago, I got a few new sticks of ram for the holidays. The day of, I started getting frequent BSOD with the stopcode: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. The BSOD seems to happen randomly, sometimes in the middle of a game, sometimes while in a word doc, sometimes while it is sitting idle in the middle of the night. I immediately suspected the ram, and ran memtest overnight with no issues. I also disabled all overclocks on the PC, as i read that they could cause the errors. I updated all drivers, and ran driver verifier with no issues. None of this helped my issue, as the BSOD continued.
Finally i gave up, and did a complete fresh install of windows(entirely wiped all hard-drives in the process) about a month ago. The issue "stopped" for about a month, before reappearing the other day. Hoped it was a one time issue...but im screwed i guess, and im getting one crash per day again.
I ran whocrashed and got the following information:

Bug check description: This indicates that Microsoft Windows or a kernel-mode driver accessed paged memory at DISPATCH_LEVEL or above. This is a software bug.
This bug check belongs to the crash dump test that you have performed with WhoCrashed or other software. It means that a crash dump file was properly written out.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

This bug check belongs to the crash dump test that you have performed with WhoCrashed or other software. It means that a crash dump file was properly written out.
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: nvlddmkm.sys (NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 390.77 , NVIDIA Corporation).

Anything would be helpful in solving this issue, I just want to get down to the issue, so that i can count on my computer functioning again. Here are computer specs if they help at all:
