    Could you try the GPU into a different system?

    How old is the hardware?

    I had the GPU in another system when I ran the Furmark stress test - it didn't blue screen. The hardware is from 2009 - so it could be the card is dying.

    However, I have not had a BSOD for two days. After the last driver update, the BSOD was not the same as previous ones. I'm wondering if subsequent rebooting may have solved the problem. I'm going to wait and see for now. If no more similar BSOD's I'll come back and marked solved. Thanks for the help. In the meantime I'm studying components; I may get the urge to put together a new system that Win 10 drivers available.

    I'm marking this as solved - I haven't had a BSOD since the last GPU driver update. For anyone reading this in the future - what seems to have solved this was this procedure (see Post #3). I also ran Display Driver Uninstaller and installed the new drivers in safe mode. Although I did have one more BSOD after this procedure, I think it was unrelated or happened before I had rebooted a couple times.

    thanks to axe0.
