Hi. I had been having the same issue and went through every single fix the internet had to offer for the problem with no joy.
It was only swtor that i had the issue in, literally nothing else. I even used burn in tests and benchmarks like FurMark to stress test the card and saw no issues at all (brand new PC easily capable of running swtor on max settings).
Eventually after trying every single driver released since Win 10, trying the nVidia HDMI sound conflict fix, trying every level of graphics setting, putting all nVidia settings on everything from prefer max quality to prefer max performance and adjusting registry settings for timeout values etc. i found the solution myself:
I disabled antialiasing in swtor itself, then used Guru3D Inspector to force the graphics card to override the game with its own antialiasing. I hope that this solution works for other people too as i found it so frustrating to have driver kernel timeouts every 30 seconds. I have been so happy to finally have it all working correctly!

i have the same issues with SWTOR and WIN10, and have a gtx 970 vga...
this is a really bad situation
Why does it feel like SWTOR just doesn't like new GPUs? I have a similar problem with the new AMD GPU I got. Tried everything and running SWTOR would always crash the driver. I switch it for my nvidia card and the game has yet to cause the nvidia driver to crash. Not good.
I have a GTX 970 and it has been working with 358.50, 358.87 and 358.91, which is to say all driver releases since i fixed the problem.
I am running a Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX970 on WIn 10 on full ultra and no issues playing swtor for hours , I do get driver restart notification using facebook 😕
Upgraded to 358.91 myself tonight , not sure why AA is causing you issues
Which manufacturer is your card ?
Something just learnt of is the debug mode introduced with 355.82 drops the card down to default reference clocks , learn something everyday , see here
Be interesting to see if downclocking stops the crashes when using ingame AA
