Do you use Avast ?
 

I don't use Avast. I assumed that since Windows says it is up to date, there is no need to install this.

So should I install the last one on the list? The cumulative one for x64 based systems

hit the run box and type 'winver' without the quote marks and tell us what version you have.

Make sure All software is off when loading your driver - including security software (go offline First)

The troubleshooter from Microsoft detects that there's a problem with the card, but it can't identify the problem apparently.
 
I tried installing a few different versions of the driver and the error code is still there after all of them. Tried 2 system restore points, however both give an error and don't work for some reason. Tomorrow after work I can try restoring to the backup image I made after installing Windows 10 and a few programs, but I have a feeling that won't do the trick either.
 
To me it looks more and more like the graphics card is faulty. I don't understand how it can cause so many issues out of nowhere, especially since it worked fine until yesterday with no apparent change.
 

In the Asus ROG Strix Z370E MB Bios is CSM Disabled or Enabled?

Also if the psu is modular check to make sure the power connections for the pci-e cables are fully seated into the psu connections and that no wires have been pushed out of the connector on both ends. Maybe a ground wire slightly pushed out from seated crooked.

This just happened to me with a brand new 6-6+2 pin adapter cable. I was rerouting cables and one of the ground wires got pushed out of the adapter power cable (imported piece of crap). I finally got it reinserted good enough to push onto the opposite plug and taped it up until I can get another one. I might just spring for a new PSU being that this one is an old OCZ 700.
 
I would definitely re-check those 8pin power cables to make sure no wires got pushed out the back while making the connection. Components can still be identified through the video cable without power cable connected. After a visual inspection, give each power wire a LIGHT tug to see if you can easily pull it out from the rear of the connectors.

+1 all day..

Yeah grab a new psu.. would be smart as they wear down after a few years. 1000watt evga G1 is nice and what I use.
