Getting BSOD multiple times

hello so these blue screens of death started maybe 3 days ago... i am on windows 8.1 pretty much they came up for multiple reasons mainly when im playing skyrim but happens during on internet,etc. this happened on windows 8 but very rarely. this happened every 20 minutes i did check disk command, ran driver verifier. driver verifier caused the driver verifier detected violation nvlddmkm.sys, then theres IRQL_not_less_or_equal and sometimes with ''driver'' before IRQL. Its related to ntoskrnl.exe as most of them are. theres are driver power state failure, kmode exception not handled system service exception and unexpected kernel with many other related files. are these corrupt how do ifix this? here are the dump files -thanks

Very similar problem i had with 580GTX, started off with intermittent bsods concerning those processes while playing games or shutting down pc. It was eventually getting worse over a course of roughly several months with these symptoms getting more frequent.

Stress testing/reinstalling drivers didn't do anything to help - "thought to myself if stress testing the gpu 100% didn't cause crashes then what in the hell is the problem".

I found running msi afterburner and forcing constant power and using kernel mode helped to prolong some stability, played games and pc was able to shutdown normally for a while. But then not sure if using msi afterburner accelerated the fault in the gpu because the problems came back at a faster rate and wouldn't stop. If was the case with msi afterburner accelerating the fault or just coincidence, im glad it was over because it was driving me nuts.

In the end, it was a dying gpu. Swapped the gpu over for another and all was good.

could try reinstalling drivers though or try out msi afterburner.

Forgot to mention those processes you mentioned are all nvidia related.

And another problem i had was hdmi was blanking out and sometimes would come back on its own and others needed to restart.

first bugcheck:
you got a double fault on your processor, these can often be fixed via microcode updates that are done to your BIOS.
- the cpu was not overclocked: was running at 2394 Mhz (ok)
BIOS was release on 7/22/2013 version e1763IMS.50c
Manufacturer Micro-Star International Co., Ltd.
Product Name GT70 2OC/2OD
Version REV:0.C
Product MS-1763
Version REV:0.C

I would start with a BIOS update, then drivers from the vendor MSI

BIOS updated on 2013-11-27
you might update here if this is your machine

second issue looks different, but could be cause by antivirus software. if you have some pre installed but not updated i would remove it. It may be the root cause of these bugcheck. Memory corruption or delay cause by a antivirus scanner that is hooking low level IO and not getting done before the system timer throws a bugcheck. this system was up 1 hour 10 mins before it crashed. remove virus scanner and see if you can reproduce the issue.

================
you will also want to check for corrupted windows files
use system file checker
start cmd.exe as a admin
run sfc.exe /scannow <- this will check your major system files for corruption and repair them
if the system indicates it can not repair them, you will need to run
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealt
this will repair the corrupted files using a known good online copy.

reboot and rerun the sfc.exe /scannow to confirm that your files remain uncorrupted.
