BSOD 0x116 causes:

#1 Bad video driver or corrupt video driver.
#2 Defective video card.
#3 Insufficient power to gpu or defective psu.
 
Since you have no problems in games maybe your problem is related to the power management mode inside the nvidia control panel. Under manage 3d settings inside the nvidia control panel change power management mode (global settings) from optimal to adaptive. Reboot pc & retest the system for the blue screen. Did you set your cpu back to stock clocks like I suggested in post #13?

What does the adaptive setting do? Or rather what is the difference between optimal and adaptive? I thought optimal was the most economical...
And no I have not touched my CPU clock or any other setting.

Optimal power: Reduces power consumption when the computer is idle and nothing is changing on the screen, the driver will not make the gpu render a new frame, the driver will use the already rendered frame from the framestore and output directly to monitor to save power.
 
Adaptive: Allows the graphics driver to automatically determine the proper performance state based on gpu usage. Allows the gpu to render a new frame when needed.
 
Prefer maximum performance: Makes the card run at its maximum performance state when 3d applications are running regardless of gpu usage. Prefer maximum performance shouldn't be set under the global tab as it can cause your gpu clocks to run at base clock all the time when web browsing.
 
Since you're having a problem with your computer you really need to set all hardware back to default clocks speeds when troubleshooting. A unstable overclock on the cpu, gpu or ram could be causing the whole issue.

It seems, its something with anniversary update in windows 10

If you think adaptive can fix it I'll try it.
The only thing that's overclocked is the CPU so I guess I can remove that. It's just a hassle since I don't know what the actual problem is I'd have to keep it stock for a long time without knowing if anything changed or not. And it's going to take a lot of work to undo and redo all of that stuff.
 
I'll also run MemTest86 to see if my RAM is OK. I guess it can't hurt.
 
 
Some additional info: From what I can tell nearly every single time I've had the BSoD I've been watching a video. I've had video driver crashes before but until recently it was always "the video driver crashed and recovered" and now it seems to not recover. The screen goes black and the lights on the GPU go bright and dim and bright again (I normally have them dimmed) as if it's trying to restart or something. The screen stays black and the audio keeps going for a while. Then the audio gets stuck and loops, then it goes from a black screen to a BSoD.

I am on Windows 7...

Your bios should allow you to save the current settings to a profile so you won't have to manually change all the settings back later.
 
My suggestions at this time would be to...
 
#1 Reset cpu to default clock speeds.
#2 Change nvidia control panel global power management mode to adaptive. Reboot PC.
#3 Retest the system for awhile to make sure bsod is fixed.

Just send your card back it will never be fixed using these cards. I had same problem 3 different cards all 1070 Ftw. I bought a Msi 1070 gamming z 8g and have been playing games now for 2 weeks not a problem at all. I had same problem you have.

I think I can now say I have definitively ruled out the RAM as a potential cause.
First I ran Windows Memory Diagnostic and received 0 errors.
Then I ran a full MemTest86 test, you can see the results of it below.
 
So now that the RAM is off the list of possible problems (and have sadly sacrificed a big chunk of productivity because these tests take a very long time) I think I can move onto the next possibility.
 
Because removing the CPU overclock and then just hoping for the best cannot give me any immediate or definite results I'm thinking about performing a CPU stress test as well. Maybe that way I can definitely confirm the OC is the actual problem or not. What do you think?
 
 
 
 

Running a stress test on the cpu is a good idea, however, I would recommend testing the computer under the conditions that caused the bsod in the first place, but this time without the overclock applied.

That's kind of the problem. I have no idea what caused the BSoDs in the first place. Even with the BlueScreenView info nobody seems to be able to pinpoint the source of the issue so far.I also changed the Power Management settings to Adaptive and received the new Nvidia drivers today so who knows if that will affect anything.
 
I need to be able to definitively find out if something is not working right so my line of thought is that if there is truly something wrong with the CPU OC then a stress test should cause that issue to reveal itself. What do people use for CPU OC stability testing these days? Do people still use Prime95 for that? AIDA64? Geekbench? Realbench? x264?
I think I'll run x264 overnight and see if it holds up.

You said the problems occurred when browsing the web/watching videos. You'll need browse the web/watch videos with your cpu at default clocks/power management mode set to adaptive to confirm if the issue is fixed or not. Many things can cause the 0x116 bsod. I'd run prime95 on your system.
