I found that my computer BSOD every time it is in a fullscreen instance. I have gotten DPC Watchdog, Machine Check, and WHEA Uncorrectable Errors. Not sure what the problem is. Attached is the event viewer.

My first recommendation is to seek Gigabytes help in updating the bios. 

And, I would reseat the memory and other cards.

Everyone wants to jump on the processor.  Let's try the IPDT first:

Then, your problem lies elsewhere.

So the Intel support engineers can have more information about your system, Download, run, and save the results of this utility as a text file:

Then ATTACH the text file using the instructions under the reply window ( Drag and drop here or browse files to attach ).

Well, you are not running Intel graphics, so we can rule that out. 

Have you updated your bios?

Latest nvidia driver?

All other board drivers updated?

With all of the errors, have you tried swapping memory, or using different memory?

When did this start happening?

To answer in order:

No, I have not. I have tried to figure out Gigabyte's reflash stuff, but it is confusing to me and I know how bad it is to screw up.

I have the supported driver for the 550ti, but my 1660ti ran the most recent drivers. It also had Machine Check Error BSODs.

I have went through the Device Manager with the update driver option, but other than that, I have no idea how to find that stuff.

I have not touched my memory. I have contemplated Memtest, but it confuses me as well.

This started about three Nvidia updates ago. So around April-May 2021.

I updated the chipset software and BIOS to F6e. 

It seems to quiet down, but I'll give it a week before declaring it a solution.

Also, ran Memtest86 and found no memory issues. Will reseat if it BSOD's again.

It seems to have quelled the problem. Though, I might revisit this thread when I get my graphics card back or if the problem comes back. Thank you much!
