I was hoping that test wold at least tell us which driver it is but this one should

*Dont forget to upload any further DMP files (especially those when verifier is running)

Driver verifier

Using Driver Verifier is an iffy proposition. Most times it'll crash and it'll tell you what the driver is.

I started Verivier and my PC always crashed during windows booting with error dtsoftbus01.sys

I booted in Safe Mode and turned off the verivier.

Also i have noticed that nvidia hardly throttle the nvidia GPU after 70 or 75 degrees. I used nvidiainspector to put GPU frequency to stable frequency, no overclocking just it's working(stock) frequency. And i had no crashes duering gaming(like 1 hour) and in games where i had near 20 FPS i had near 40-50 even 60 with same graphic settings. And max GPU temperature was 83 degrees, middle near 77 degrees. (77 degrees i had as maximum before with throttling in games and in furmark test). That was surprise for me. Also that crashes in games i had, were sometimes after Alt-Tabing to desktop. Maybe the problem is in NVIDIA which lowering it's frequency and this crash games or when it switching between internal GPU and NVIDIA.

I am doing a custom install.

. . . THEN THE COMPUTER RESTARTED INTO BIOS!

Please excuse the shouting! I'm over 4 hours into a simple Windows 8.1 Pro Student installation.
