Yes, I was able to retrieve version 4007 online. I don’t have a USB drive available to download the newer version (5003).
This version is outdated, surpassing AGESA 1.2.0.0. You don't require a USB drive to update the BIOS. Simply download, extract it onto a storage device, input the BIOS settings, find the file, and apply the changes.
The same issue persists when the BSOD video and DTR problems occur along with nvlddmkm.sys.
Remove the GPU driver first, then employ Display Driver Uninstaller to clear any remnants, and finally install the latest nVidia drivers. If issues persist, consider testing the GPU on another machine.
Since updating to 531.68 I've experienced no crashes – my system appears fully stable. Since Nvidia released driver 531.61, many users faced crashes and game failures with Event Viewer logs showing nvlddmkm. Nvidia now confirms that increased latency in driver 531.61 can lead to crashes and/or CTD issues, which can be verified with Latencymon. Additionally, tests on video RAM when memory is full sometimes trigger nvlddmkm errors in Event Viewer logs, potentially affecting other software as well. You can find more details here: GeForce GRD 531.61 Feedback Thread on the NVIDIA forums. The same problems are mentioned for the latest driver 531.68, but I haven't seen any crashes or logs with nvlddmkm yet. So far it seems better, though confirmation is still pending. Trying DDU on 531.68 helped, but it wasn't a solution for 531.61. For now, cleaning the installation works for me. But it's still early to be sure. As suggested, DDU is definitely worth a try!
