Multiple Graphics Failures

Ever since the last forced update in January my computer blue screens on nearly every 3D program and game that I use. I had very few issues of this nature before this. I've done everything possible that has to do with drivers, DDU17, even a manual sweep, it's just simply not that. At this point I just want to know is there something I can do to make it happen less until the next update in April maybe fixes it. I have no problems if doing anything else.
I have a GTX 1060 6GB and right now I have an extra 16GB of shared video memory, which I think is excessive. I don't care to have it, especially if it might be adding to the issue. It has steadily grown from when I first got Win 10 several months ago and had only 4GB extra.

Some of the errors I have been getting are: (Not always in their full form)
Video Memory Management Internal
Faulty Hardware Corrupted Page
Page Fault in Nonpaged Area
System Thread Exception Not Handled*
Win32Kfull.sys
Memory Management *
SSHID.sys
IRQL Not Less or Equal *

The ones with the asterisk are the ones that are most frequent, others have only shown up once or only a couple times.
This is the most difficult problem that I have run into yet and I can't think of anything else other than my OS is broken from the update. It started happening the day after the update.

Open to any suggestions

You have a very good PSU. The RAM may be only several months old but run memtest just in case. How old is your GPU and was it working perfectly until the January update? The GPU seems relatively new but you have to test it in another system in order to be sure that it's OK. That said your issues are most likely software related.

I forgot to mention previously that you should update your motherboard's BIOS to its latest version in order to minimize possible compatibility issues.
Please post your complete system specs. It could just be a hardware issue with your GPU/PSU/RAM or it may be software (drivers/OS) related. I think that you should try using your GPU on another system just to make sure that it's OK. Those issues could also be caused by a bad PSU. Try using another PSU in your system. You should also test the RAM with memtest. If you rule out the hardware and you are getting fed up with the situation, I think you should reset the windows.

The RAM is only several months old, I'll check it with memtest though. The psu is also only several months old as well.
