I recently purchased an HP Victus from Costco and since I got it today I keep getting these crashes that sometimes freezes my computer whenever I try to play a game.

 

For Assassins Creed Origins it crashes on start screen while Crusader Kings 3 crashes on the interactive map for instance. When it crashes the game will freeze and the monitor will go black and make a weird click. Sometimes it goes back to desktop. Sometimes it doesn't.

 

In the event viewer I normally get a Event 4101 error that says "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and successfully recovered," and Event 0 nvlddmkm, and Event 10016 DistributedCom. I've tried everything from online of including uninstalling the NVIDIA drivers with DDU and then reinstalling them, unchecking Hardware-accelerated GBU scheduling, checking optimization for windowed games, and disabling VT on the bios.

 

Reminder: this is a brand NEW computer so nothing has been changed. I've also asked help from NVIDIA support and the Microsoft community and I'm waiting for a reply.

 

My monitor is an Acer H233H. My specs are: Operating System:
