Well this has only started happening recently (Just yesterday actually). I'll start off by saying the computer is about to hit 6 years old this Christmas, but my GPU is only about 3 years old and my PSU probably about 2 years old.
System specifications:
Motherboard: Asus P7P55-LX
GPU: (Zotac)GTX 660
CPU: First Gen intel i7 860
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB
PSU: Antec 850W PSU
I wish I could tell you what driver version I was running but I've installed so many over the past 24 hours I can't keep track, but it doesn't seem like it should be driver related considering the situation in which it started happening.
As I stated the problem only just started happening yesterday while I was playing Euro Truck Simulator 2 Multiplayer, I was banned(For a stupid reason) so I figured I would take some time to straighten up my desk when I looked around my Logitech G25 and noticed while tightening it down it had actually shattered my glass tabletop cover. So I shut my system down via the start menu and let everything close out like normal, once everything had closed down and the system powered off I flipped the power switch on the PSU and then disconnected the power supply and began taking all my peripherals off etc.. I then hooked everything back up after spending 2 hours cleaning up my mess and as soon as I went to power on the PC I began getting the nvlddmkm.sys BSOD as soon as the startup screen began to say welcome.
Things I have tried to do to remedy the situation.
Firstly I booted into safe-mode used DDU to uninstall and wipe the drivers, restarted the computer and made sure no Nvidia processes were running and then began to install countless old and new drivers on the PC with DDU wipes in between each one. I then began to use my Google-fu(Which is why I haven't posted on any type of tech forums in years I normally can figure this crap out on my own, I use posting on forums as a last resort) and found that some people were able to fix the issue by changing the nvlddmkm.sys in System32/Drivers to nvlddmkm.sys.old and then taking the nvlddmkm.sy from the Nvidia folder putting that on your desktop and using CMD to expand the file and then put it back in the System32/Drivers folder that didn't fix it for me. The last thing I did was to try a system restore with no luck their either. So I'm completely stumped on what to do, the only thing I could think of is that the GPU is dead but it just doesn't seem likely considering I've had no other BSOD's in quite some time(Atleast 8 months to over a year) no artifacting in video games or anything to suggest the card was on it's way out.
If you've made it this far on my wall of text I appreciate you taking the time out to read this and hope that you're able to help me out. I will be quite active as I would like to fix this ASAP.
