I thought i got this fixed but no. I got too lazy and just dealt with it untill now lol.
So, once upon a time i had drivers of something like 198.???. Then i decided to update to the newest (258.96), and my laptop started crashing when i played games. Sometimes even when i don't play anything.
I really don't want to go back because my framerates pretty much doubled after the driver update.
I uninstalled old drivers, went to safe mode, ran driver sweeper, restarted normally, installed new drivers and restarted.
When it crashes, either
1. The screen first goes at like 5fps for a moment, then goes black, then the sounds start doing this crippling noise out of whatever was playing. And it stays there untill i force-restart.(or my ears explode from the noise)
2. Screen goes black, returns to normal and shows this:
![]()
So, any ideas what could be the cause and/or how to fix?

Yeah that happens to me too but I am in college so I cant get the motherboard replaced. For me its video memory corruption problem.
