Returning BSOD after getting laptop "fixed" ; nvlddmkm.sys 0x00000116
This issue first came up a couple months ago when I was in school. I can remember exactly where it started too. I opened up an image file a professor sent us of scanned notes, and my laptop crashed. I don't recall if I got the BSOD that time, but after that whenever I tried to do anything that used the nvidia GPU instead of the integrated chip, I'd get this BSOD (I even forced simple programs like Chrome to run with the nvidia GPU and indeed it would crash). I googled around then, did as much as could which mostly amounted to trying stock drivers, newest drivers, and the last stable drivers I had, as well as rebuilding the nvlddmkm.sys file. None of it helped whatsoever.
Luckily I had a squaretrade warranty that wasn't up, but I couldn't afford to lose my computer for 5+ days during school, so I waited til summer to send it in. I got it back and the problem was gone! The invoice said they replaced the VGA. That was a few weeks ago, but on the 4th of July the problem came back again! It's the same deal: anytime I use the nvidia card it'll BSOD. I've done a clean install of the latest drivers which didn't help. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!
