nvlddmkm error (Display Driver Error)

After updating to the 3.0 patch I have had this problem constantly. Originally when it happened it was extremely rare maybe once in a week or two weeks it would have a driver crash. I have been using Directx11 sense it was first patched in. After this update I will have driver crashes anywhere between 10 seconds to 2 hours. I could be running a map, sitting in my hideout, spamming spells, nothing specifically was setting it off. Even back to back just sitting in hideout nothing going on and it would crash back to back like 3 times. Sometimes like recently it will happen almost every 2-3 minutes making it unplayable and crashing me to the login screen.

Checking the event log has resulted in nvlddmkm error (display driver stopped responding and has recovered)

Things I have tried/tested and still have the same issue:
------------------------
Clean install of drivers both old and newest.
Complete reinstall of PoE.
Verify files.
New HDD.
Memory, CPU, and GPU Stress Testing.
Tested playing other games all play without a single issue.
Lowered settings.
Directx9 instead of directX11.
Reseated GPU and Ram.
32 bit or 64 bit both have the issue.
------------------------


I do not know what could be causing the issue. I am at my wits end and enjoy playing PoE but its unplayable unless I enjoy being disconnected every 2-3 minutes sometimes seconds. Links below to both DxDiag and Event Viwer Log.

Log When Error Occurs:

Attempted clean install of Windows 10 still the same issue.

Maybe PSU issues? If not, try different driver versions.

PSU would be having issues in multiple games then not just POE. But I did check it with a PSU Tester came back fine. As for drivers I have tried several older ones that didn't before the 3.0 patch and even tried updating to the latest same issue.

Still seeking any ideas to the issue at hand have done some digging but nothing that seems connected other then people having issues with directx11 in POE.

Attempted lower settings still happening. Tried using Directx9 still happened all be it took 2 hours this time. Not a permanent fix but a step in the right way. Will continue testing ideas.

Reseated the GPU and RAM as some advised on other posts. Still happening. Attempted disabling HD audio drivers from the GPU still happens. Checked PSU output still great and more then enough to power the system.

Upon digging through my log and the last time it happens this is listed each time this happens in the logs.

Log:

Tested both 32 bit and 64 bit clients both have the same issue occur.

Completely removed all files from path of exile including the Shader folder and maps folder emptying all data that was left behind by it. Reinstalled. Still did it.
