nvlddmkm.sys CONSTANT crash

I have disabled some of the services, mainly nvidia based. Got yet a new bugcheck error today too :(

0x144: BUGCODE_USB3_DRIVER - Wondered if that has anything to do with my dying SSD. Formatted and removed it now.

Literally considering buying a new CPU, GPU and RAM at this point icl lol
 
Hmm. I thought I did but it is still here. Uninstalling now.

Edit: it's gone. My previous case used to be NZXT, kept it as I wanted to wanted to monitor temps. Know of any good monitoring apps that won't potentially crash my system?
 
Small update - still crashing with new errors in event viewer and reliability history.

Event viewer: Dwminit - The Desktop Window Manager process has exited. (Process exit code: 0x0000042b, Restart count: 1, Primary display device ID: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER)

About 30 seconds before that crash was Application Hang error. Saying
The program explorer.exe version 10.0.26100.3323 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel.

Thats a new one.

In reliability history, a new Live Kernal Dump.

VIDEO_MINIPORT_BLACK_SCREEN_LIVEDUMP (1b8)

This time caused by dxgkrnl.sys.

I had found a video online saying to move the nvlddmkm.sys file to the drivers folder in system32 which I did. This seemed to make the crash behave different as in the keyboard num lock, caps lock etc reponded even though I could do nothing on screen. But this could have been a coincidence. Still running a clean boot with just a few services such as icue running (otherwise my fans are so loud it drives me nuts)

Still thinking its the GPU, what do you think? I may ditch nvidia for AMD. Currently looking at the RX 7800XT as a replacement.
 
I would try to clean the graphics card thoroughly, also replacing the thermal paste.
I think it costs 20-40 pounds in a well-equipped shop, if you don't want to do it yourself.
It should also reduce the noise.

You can however buy another graphics card later, if the current one still doesn't work properly...
