Nvlddmkm.sys Blue Screen of Death error

Question

I am encountering a strange bug (?) when using GPU-Z. I came to notice this problem when installing my brand new Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, which was equipped with a full cover water block by me. The system threw BSODs with reference to Nvidia every few minutes which made me thought i broke the card while changig it to water cooling.But this is not the case. The problem seems to be the running GPU-Z application in the background. As soon as GPU-Z is opened and minimized, the system will freeze with a BSOD (nvlddmkm.sys) within minutes. This only happens if the system is in idle-state (reading Word-Documents, browsing with Chrome) and the card is clocking down to clock rates below 200 Mhz for idle operation. If a 3D-application is launched, the problem disappears, no matter how long the application is running.

I see,    Have you tried this: https://winerrorfixer.com/nvlddmkm-sys/ run in the safe mode, delete old drivers and depending on where you got the last drivers from, get them from the opposite.
