Hello, I am new to tomshardware. I have looked everywhere on google to try and find a solution to these crashes but none have helped. I keep getting BSOD crashes that give me errors such as DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL, ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY.

I have updated my motherboard's BIOS, reinstalled windows 10, checked for memory problems using Windows Memory Diagnostic, used sfc /scannow using Administrator Command Prompt to check for corrupt windows files, manually updated drivers in device manager, all to no avail.

The only thing that seemed to suggest my problem lies with a faulty driver is when I ran Driver Verifier under "select all drivers," in which my computer promptly crashed upon restarting and I had to restore my PC to a restore point.

System specs are:

Windows 10 Education 64bit
Processor: Intel Core i5-3570K CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.40 GHz
Memory: 16GB RAM
Motherboard: ASUS 77-A
ASUS GTX 960 4gb
120GB PNY SSD9SC120gla-xlr
1 TB hard drive

I can include the minidumps from the crashes if anyone needs them, I would do it on this post but I can't seem to find a way to attach a file. Thank you so much for any help.

On Sat 11/12/2016 4:24:26 PM your computer crashed
crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\111216-5578-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: nvlddmkm.sys (nvlddmkm+0x1DE628)
Bugcheck code: 0xD1 (0x20, 0xE, 0x1, 0xFFFFF80F4D84E628)
Error: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
file path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_dispi.inf_amd64_848dea456d3c865e\nvlddmkm.sys
product: NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 375.70
company: NVIDIA Corporation
description: NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 375.70
Bug check description: This indicates that a kernel-mode driver attempted to access pageable memory at a process IRQL that was too high.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: nvlddmkm.sys (NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 375.70 , NVIDIA Corporation).
Google query: NVIDIA Corporation DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

crash dump file: C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\110916-5062-01.dmp
This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x149F90)
Bugcheck code: 0x109 (0xA39FDD5E45A8F753, 0xB3B6E9E49826B35D, 0xFFFFF800BCD2A347, 0x1)
Error: CRITICAL_STRUCTURE_CORRUPTION
file path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
company: Microsoft Corporation
description: NT Kernel & System
Bug check description: This indicates that the kernel has detected critical kernel code or data corruption.
This might be a case of memory corruption. More often memory corruption happens because of software errors in buggy drivers, not because of faulty RAM modules.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

Here's two of the main issues, hope it helps. Been busy this week so sorry about taking forever to reply.
