STEP: Extended Skyrim Causing GPU To Crash

So I'm a STEP user, and I went with the Extended install path recently. Started a fresh save and everything.


Problem is, it appears that something about STEP Extended is causing my GPU to crash. I get the following Event Viewer message in Windows 10:

Quote

Application TESV.exe has been blocked from accessing Graphics hardware.


And at the same time:

Quote

Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.


Followed by:

Quote

Faulting application name: dwm.exe, version: 10.0.10586.0, time stamp: 0x5632d756


When this happens, both my monitors go black, and the fans on my PC and GPU crank up to full speed. Hence why I concluded that the GPU driver is crashing. This GPU is the ASUS DirectCU II GTX 780 Ti, with a factory overclock. I don't think it is the GPU actually overheating, since the fans don't really do anything until immediately prior to the crash. Nor do I think my PC has insufficient power (it's a Corsair RM550).


My current suspicion is the ENBoost that is part of STEP is causing some sort of issue, since if I understand ENBs correctly, it is basically an interface between Skyrim and Direct3D.


Any ideas/solutions?
