Well, Seyumi, in this case I am 100% sure it is a software. In fact, I guarantee you 100% that even your supposedly good/non-RSODing card will RSOD if you install MagicTune.
You can try just for the 'kick' or as proof of concept to install any version of MagicTune and reboot on your system (I think 4.0.14 is the latest one). The link to Samsung's download is samsung.com/us/consumer/learningresources/monitor/magetune/pop_download.html
You can always uninstall it in safe mode, but I am willing to bet that your card will RSOD for sure as well. The problem here is that it tries to access some video BIOS address where it acquired info about the card before, but layout of BIOS has changed in 600 series. So accessing that BIOS address will give you RSOD 100%
