@0megaJ0ker 

But did you uninstalled them clean? (Meaning did you used a driver uninstall tool like DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) that @kreatora linked.

Furthermore, why are you using a External USB Graphics adapter for your second Monitor on a 1080ti SLI system?

And did you disconnected that Monitor, and then restarted your system, as @puzzlezaddict  suggested?

    Sorry for the 2 month late reply, I've been really busy with work. To answer yes I did use DDU and reinstalled my Display Driver, I've stopped using the USB display adapter but the Sims 4 still triggers a BSoD during Shut Down even though it's not suppose to trigger it with my current hardware.

    If you have it turn off Rivatuner Statistics Server and MSI Afterburner

    • Look under "C:Windows\Minidumps"
    • There you should find "*.dmp" files with dates that match the BSOD crashes.
    • Zip the last two of them together and load them up at a free file hosting site. 
    • Post the download link here.
