I recently installed the newest Nvidia drivers and began playing a game and after 10-15 minutes the system crashed and displayed a blue screen. It said there was a display error. It then restarted and when attempting to start windows it very quickly flashed to a blue error screen and restarted. I attempted a system restore and no fix. Startup repair also did not work. I can't do anything.
Startup repair problem details:
Problem Event Name: StartupRepairOffline
Problem Signature 01:6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 02: 6.1.7600.16385
Problem Signature 03: unknown
Problem Signature 04: 21199973
Problem Signature 05: AutoFailover
Problem Signature 06: 10
Problem Signature 07: BadDriver
 
Solution
Try to boot up in safe mode. See if things stays stable. If it does than its a driver issue means software related not hardware. If it doesn't than that is another story.

Try to uninstall graphics driver and then do a "clean install" of driver.

Fixed: Safe mode did not work, but in the BIOS the SATA was set to RAID, I tried IDE then AHCI. AHCI fixed it.
