Windows 10 Blue Screen

A thought: although the crashes that the computer claims are related to my GPU don't seem to fit this theory, the rest (Logitech keyboard/mouse and ASUS wifi adapter) are both USB devices.  Could the problem be with my USB drivers or related part of the system? 

I uninstalled my ASUS USB (2.0) wifi adapter but the driver loaded by Windows was the same.  So I went to ASUS's website and found that one version of the adapter had newer  driver listed for Windows 10 64bit.  But Windows wouldn't use the download as an upgrade driver, because its an installation package.  So I installed it.  It didn't change the driver listed for the adapter in the Device Manager.  Not sure what it installed... there is a new tab in the adapter properties.  Note the 3 Microsoft Network Adapter devices are only listed because I selected "Hidden Devices" under the View menu.

Came back to a crashed system.  Been stable since the above commands.  When I rebooted (its now sticking on 100% BSOD; no auto reboot) it said it was installing updates.  I think it was this one: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4467702/windows-10-update-kb4467702 (among some security updates). 

While typing this message it BSOD again, but for now here's the crash dumps etc from during the updates(?): https://1drv.ms/f/s!ArNe4-q6Tz36hjnBWR8wqiuELwba

Maybe I need to turn off Windows Update - been lots of bad press lately.

When I did a fresh install of Win10 I didn't install ESET at first.  I have uninstalled ESET and Windows Defender is on. 

I don't overclock my system.  The only thing I can think of is setting the memory to run in XMP profile via BIOS settings.
