I'm experiencing frequent Blue Screens of Death (BSODs) while playing games, and the error log indicates that nvlddmkm.sys is the source of the crashes. I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled the Nvidia drivers multiple times, including trying two older versions, but the problem persists. My GPU is a brand new Gigabyte 4070ti Super, which I received via RMA, and I also have a new power supply. I'm running the latest version of Windows 11. Here are my dump files: [files.catbox.moe/g66eeb.7z](https://files.catbox.moe/g66eeb.7z).

Your CPU might be overheating, so consider reapplying thermal paste if you haven't done that yet. However, if your temps are within safe limits, perhaps the issue lies elsewhere. Just something to keep in mind.
Make sure to check for any dump files in C:WindowsMinidump for a proper analysis of the BSODs. If you can boot into Windows or Safe Mode, grab those dump files, zip them up, and upload them to a file-sharing service like catbox.moe or mediafire.com. Having multiple dump files is super helpful for diagnosing the issue. You might also want to follow a guide to adjust your dump type to Small Memory Dump to ensure you capture everything as it happens.
Actually, I just checked, and the highest temp I hit is 78°C under load. I thought I had mentioned that, but I guess it slipped my mind since the RMA process took forever!
