I'm getting BSOD with error nvlddmkm.sys

My computer has been working fine ever since purchasing it a couple of years ago. I recently installed the new update and since then my computer refuses to run games, and crashes to a blue screen with 'error nvlddmkm.sys'. before it goes to blue screen it will go into kind of pixels, sometimes green, sometimes white then restart the pc.

I've tried formatting my harddrives and SSD, I've tried everything YouTube videos say but it just doesn't seem to work. I'm worried that it's my GPU because I can't afford a new one. I currently have a 2080ti.

Any help fixing this would be appreciated whole heartedly.

    Find nvlddmkm.sys in system32

    Click on properties, under securities tab

    Enable full USER control

    Apply then restart

    This should fix all BSODs related to nvlddmkm.sys Keep in mind windows updates may reset this, just redo the process.

    I'm having this same issue, but only when my laptop isn't plugged in and especially when not running games...

    Has anyone been able to figure out what triggers the BSOD?

    I appreciate that every system is different so might not be possible to pin down a common cause, but it is just strange for me that it is completely random when it triggers on my system. Sometimes I cannot even watch a youtube video without getting the BSOD, other times I can game for an entire day without issues.
