CPU-Z Causing BSOD in DXGKRNL.SYS on Dell OptiPlex 755 with Windows 10

Today I ran into an issue where launching CPU-Z on a Dell OptiPlex 755 running Windows 10 caused a blue screen of death (BSOD) in DXGKRNL.SYS. I'm using integrated graphics, and all drivers appear to be accounted for and working properly.

The only workaround I found was to change a setting in the CPUZ.INI file.

Change this:

    Display=1

To this:

    Display=0

This will result in the Graphics tab of CPU-Z to be empty, but it's a far better outcome. For display info, GPU-Z worked fine for me on the same system. Hope this helps someone, or maybe even future me.
