BSOD when system is under heavy load, 0x000000d1

[AlivE]

Hi, as I started playing GTA 5 I started getting these BSOD more frequently. I have noticed them few times some time ago but couldn't really tell why. Now I can, its when system is under heavy load.
Previously I would get that BSOD playing Arma 3, also demanding game but since I didn't play that much I didn't cared about it.
Now as I play much more GTA 5 I noticed if I put my system under heavy load (like ~98% GPU, ~70-100% CPU) my system will sometimes BSOD, its totally random.

I tried updating drivers using software (Driver Reviver) and it did update some drivers but the issue still persists.

When I play GTA 5 with lower graphical settings and GPU is not under that much heavy load (~55% instead of 98%) I don't get this bluescreen so it might be something to do with graphics card but I really hope its not faulty.

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x000000d1 (0x0000000000000000, 0x000000000000000e, 0x0000000000000000, 0xfffff8800525bf72).
Bluescreen also has this written before restart: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

Its a display failure, blaming the display driver, which is the latest version. Can you remember what was the situation with the earlier versions? I would suggest you to Uninstall the installed display driver using Display Driver Uninstaller. Then install the 347.88 WHQL and see how it goes.

When the suggested driver is applied, Stress test the Graphics Card using Furmark.

Take a screenshot of the furmark window before closing it. Upload the screenshot for us. Also let us know if you have experienced any crash/BSOD and/or artifacts during the test.

I mentioned before that some time ago I got that BSOD from playing Arma 3, so I used older version of drivers, rolling back wont help.
I remember having this (nvlddmkm.sys) or something similar to nvidia drivers but it was just a game crash so I used DDU and clean installed newest drivers, the game crashing sorta stopped, still got similar crashing once in a while.
But since I put GPU under heavy load it BSOD'es.

And its strange that my card does just fine for 20 min under max stress but crashes during game...

And no, no crashing, no artifacts, just clean pass.

Im starting to think its simply GTA 5 causing BSOD.
Can it even be that game causes it?

Yes, some settings like texture rendering etc may cause BSODs. Fiddle with the settings, lower them down, and contract the game developer for any custom patch or custom settings for your system.

Added.
It's Seasonic G-550 F3 550W, more than enough to run my system.

Your power supply is at the minimum.

GIGABYTE - Graphics Card - NVIDIA - PCI Express Solution - GeForce 600 Series - GV-N670OC-2G

Power requirement 550 W

If your Seasonic G-550 F3 550W is working as good as it should you shouldn't have a problem with power.

Thats recommended for a whole system, as a single 670 uses 170 W (at max!).

AlivE I'm fully aware what the Watts recommended means. I know your video card does not use all that power.
I was just showing what your system with that video card, what wattage power supply at minimum is recommended for your system.
