Need a very special iso, Windows 8, not 8.1 (I have a good reason)

this below, is the story of why I want a windows 8 iso, not 8.1.

Last year I got a gtx 1050 ti for Christmas, didn't have the correct power supply for it. After buying the 1050 locally and returning the 1050 ti. It worked and had a great time, until my pc starting blue screening nearly every 2 hours. In the middle of a comp. game in fortnite/csgo/overwatch pc crashes only with the label dpc_watchdog_violation. Apparently, you can't have an Nvidia GPU, AMD cpu, and windows 8.1 at the same time. So when I updated to windows 10 everything worked fine, but everything was way slower than any other windows version I'd used. Now I could rant about all the bloatware, updates that reinstall bloatware, but the point is that I need an OS that isn't Windows 8.1, 10, or 7. And if anybody knows if you still can't mix NVIDIA gpu, amd cpu and windows 8, then I'll live with slow windows 10.

By update are you saying that Windows 10 was not installed as a clean install? Because Windows 10 should be quite fast and there is no reason for an AMD cpu being slow with an Nvidia GPU or causing issues. I recommend running a clean install of the latest Windows 10 if you haven't. BTW what AMD cpu are you using?

As far as DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATIONS go I've seen those only in relation to bad driver's or hardware. I've had one before that happened during the Windows 10 installation process and it was related to a bad set of memory sticks as soon as I replaced the bad memory the installation went smoothly.

This isn't actually a thing - many, many people are running Nvidia GPUs with AMD CPUs on all modern operating systems without having any issues. Something else is going on here. I'd start with a full *fresh* install of Windows 10.
