There is a software called Display Driver Uninstaller, use it to remove your currently installed GPU drivers, then install the latest version again for your GPU. Also, try updating your BIOS and if you're on the latest version, try setting the BIOS to default settings. If none of these work, you might need to reinstall Windows, so back up your data.

You said you have already tried replacing the motherboard? If yes, then I'd say the only possibility left now is a fault in the CPU. They're rare but not nonexistent, so if you are sure the motherboard is not the problem I'd suggest getting the CPU replaced.

well the cpu does jump randomly to 60 degrees for no reason at all like i can be nothing on the pc and it jumps 10 to 20 degrees. and the bsod error was fixed i updated my gpu again and rolled back then the error stopped
