Gaming laptop restarts randomly with error message

[Jalley99]

My son’s Victus 16 gaming laptop running Windows 11 (cause that is what it came with) keeps randomly crashing and restarting predominately when play games such as Fortnite. I have updated all of the drivers and software. I have learned that other found Windows 11 to be buggy. Not surprisingly looking for solutions.
