Use DDU to clean the graphics drivers out of the system and install the new version from downloading from nvidia's site. If it persists, then repeat the process, but use the next previous release of the driver. And only install the next latest one when it is released.
This has solved graphics driver problems for me in the past.
I had an issue lately after the latest drivers or win10 build that the monitors wouldn't wake up, but the system was active in the background, I know it was active as it had youtube open on the desktop and if I hit space on the keyboard i could start and stop the video. The displays would try to come alive as the source message would appear on the screen, but then immediately go back to sleep again.
The PC has also BSOD a couple of times lately as well, so there is definitely something flaky with a recent update, not sure which update, but suspect graphics drivers.

Great info. I've been too lazy to do the DDU so far, but with all the pain I'm suffering I'm sure I will try it out.

An app cant BSOD a system, only a driver.
Well, you could remove the drivers Windows thinks is best form the system, but this is just plain crazy, once the hardware is set up it shouldnt be 're found' (ie, it isnt new and a PnP/Find New Hardware event triggered), unless there is something weird about your hardware.
I guess you googled it? Others must have the same issue.

Yeah, that makes sense to me. Apps are just crashing a lot.

I did google it and it seems that others are having the same issues. It's just difficult to tell if this is the core issue, because when I look at the driver version under Device Management it always looks like the same version even though the computer seems to work fine only if after booting up I install the official drivers again.
The machine ran for hours without any incident until I went to shut down and then it BSOD'ed again. Ugh! I think I'm going to buy a cheapy graphics card and put it in and see how that does.

Nvidia are famous for writing dodgy drivers.

Interesting. I thought they were one of the better ones.

On a customers board, PPC based, got U-boot running, a linux kernel loading, a file system in RAM and an alive console in a little over two weeks.
Phew, that was a lot of googling!
It is actually quite simple, when you know how. Just a shame, as always with linux, the documentation is not centralised, it is
repeated everywhere, often with subtle differences (because linux changes, there are many ways to do things on linux, and some are just plain wrong/useless).

What on God's green earth does this have ANYTHING to do with Co2 and GW? not a damn thing!!
Congrats, BTW.

Well, I was panting alot. 
Yeah, it is nice getting an OS running on a PCB thats lying on your desk. Embedded/low level dev is much more fun than writing apps.

Wouldn't a U-boot[^] crush their computer?

Should you never use a pi chart to demonstrate obesity?

not unless you want to start a rho.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

What may start out as bar charts may devolve into staggered line graphs.

Would they show scatter plots at a grave diggers meeting?

Or a line graph to demonstrate anorexia.

Fat chance any graphic comments would be made. If they were bezier, perhaps they'd not think of food so much?

Construction everywhere. My banks atm doesn't work probably due to them digging up the road out front. Wasted trip. Finally got where i am going and sitting in the lot waiting for the store to open. I guess i gave myself more time than i needed. So i go to open visual studio. On my phone. Meh. Traffic gets me out of sorts

Not if you have the right phone[^].
Some things just don't come together and then make you look like a total fool.
