Imac 2013, Nvidia driver, Windows 10 crashing.

I have an iMac (27-inch, Late 2013) with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M and 4GB of GDDR5 memory. The internal SSD is broken.

I installed Windows 10 on an external SSD using WinToUSB and connected it to my iMac. Windows 10 starts up fine, and I copied BootCamp 5.1.5640 using a flash drive (Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5640 - Apple Support). However, when I try to install the NVIDIA drivers, Windows crashes. Even if I don’t install the video drivers, Windows still crashes after 3 to 10 minutes of use.

Same for win8.1, win11.

Ubuntu 24.04 runs fine, but with nouveau driver

Can you help me resolve this issue?
