960m Laptop GPU issues

Hi there. I'm having a problem with my 960m laptop graphics.

Specs in signature.

It's a Lenovo Y50-70 if that helps.

 

I DDU'd and installed Lenovo's recommended drivers but that doesn't seem to work. Laptop Screen flickers every once in a while.

I can browse the web fine, watch youtube and everything fine. If it goes to sleep, I have to hard reboot because it won't come back on. All the USB ports and the SD tray are working fine. Audio is working fine.

 

BSOD on: game launch, graphics driver update, all gpu things. DDU worked in safe mode, but some pop up came up from widnows saying something like "this can't be launched right now" right before DDU rebooted for me.

My testing included installing various Geforce drivers and running Skyrim. List of BSOD errors from all my troubleshooting yesterday and how many times they happened:

CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT x1

WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR x1

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL x1

DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION x2

VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR x4

REFERENCE_BY_POINTER x1

BAD_POOL_HEADER x1

 

I'm going to make a google doc and keep them there, I'll edit this post later.

I don't know what's going on. Can anyone help?

Me at the Apple store: "So how fast is this little macbook?"

Apple employee: "Cheetah Fast. Lightning Fast. It's Really, really, fast."

Windows 10. It came with the Laptop when I got it around a year and a half ago.
