You're making this harder than it needs to be. All Windows drivers are signed. Blame the party that signed the buggy driver.

The point is, users will blame windows because they don't know what a graphics driver is or that they have one, so MS took steps to avoid people thinking windows is buggy. MS has a long history of this, going as far as reproducing bugs.

You sign an executable to attest that it is authentic, not that it is bug-free.
