I've been experiencing frequent Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors right after I quit a game and use the shortcut WIN + CTRL + SHIFT + B to restart my GPU drivers. Recently, after some updates, this situation has started leading to BSODs; earlier, my system would just hang completely, not even responding to the power button until I unplugged it. I also faced a massive crash once when I modified the settings in the game Control from the Epic Games Store, but that only occurred once. Other than these incidents, my system is stable. What's going on?

Gathering dump files from your system could really help diagnose the problem. If you can access Windows normally or via Safe Mode, look in the C:WindowsMinidump folder for any crash logs. Zip those files and upload them to a file-sharing site. Analyzing those dump files could provide insights into what’s causing the BSOD.
Most users might not actively use that command after quitting a game, so it’s a bit strange that you would. Have you installed any updates recently that could correlate with the BSOD occurrences? Also, double-check that your Nvidia drivers are fully updated to rule out any compatibility issues.
It sounds like using the WIN + CTRL + SHIFT + B command is triggering the crashes, especially after the recent updates. I'd suggest avoiding that combo for now to see if it makes a difference. Have you checked your GPU drivers to ensure they’re the latest version? Also, consider running a system check or using safe mode to see if there are any underlying issues that might be contributing to the BSOD.
Are you only experiencing crashes when pressing the restart combo? It might be worth stopping that action for a bit until you figure things out. It's not typical for that to cause a BSOD, so monitoring your system after ceasing that command could help clarify if it’s the root cause.
