If anyone can help please do!

I been reinstall the game, the video card driver which was downloaded on the nvidia website, try to look for new drivers as well in the device manager. Don't have any more idea.

Many thanks!

Apparently the BSOD is caused by the bundled bloatware of the nvidia display driver. You get rid of them.
Here's how:

Uninstall the installed display driver using DDU.
Then do the following:

• Uninstall All nvidia items in Control Panel > Programs and features
  
  • 3D Vision Control Driver
  • 3D Vision Driver
  • Graphics Driver
  • HD Audio Driver
  • PhysX
  • nvidia Update
  • GeForce Experience.
  
  
• Go to Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers, Download The latest WHQL (If you have the installer saved, no need to download it again) and execute it. While installing, Select Custom (Advanced) install. In the next page, follow this settings:
  
  
• That means, install two things only, the display driver and the PhysX. Nothing else.

Also, Free up the startup. Windows does not need any other program to auto start with it, but the auto start programs often conflicts and causes various problems including BSODs.

1. Click on the Start button
2. Type “msconfig (without quotes), click the resulting link. It will open the System Configuration window.
3. Select the “Startup” tab.
4. Deselect all items other than the antivirus and the touchpad driver, synTPEnh.
5. Apply > OK
6. Accept then restart.

Daemon Tools, Alcohol 120% and Power Archiver Pro uses SCSI Pass Through Direct (SPTD), which is a well known BSOD causer. Uninstall Daemon Tools at first. Then download SPTD standalone installer from Disk-Tools.com, and execute the downloaded file as guided below :

• Double click to open it.
• Click this button only:
• 
• If it is grayed out, as in the picture, there is no more SPTD in your system, and you just close the window.

Report us any further BSOD after doing these three.
