Product: Victus by HP 16.1 inch Gaming Laptop PC 16-d0000 (2V8U8AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

Hi so i've noticed lockups nowadays specifically on some games, wether old or new, however, it is not a hardware issue as i've confirmed that through the hp recovery usb media by installing win 11 21h2 (the ver' that the machine came with) mitigates this issue completely, however updating to 22h2 through a clean install completely wrecks comms with the graphics card as sometimes just clicking "launch" on some game(s) (i.e, amnesia tdd) causes an instant 2 seconds lockup, bsod and then reboot always with "clock_watchdog_timeout" (system doesnt even reboot on its own sometimes and must be cold shutdown'd) 

 

with win 10 or 11 21h2 however system is flawless, no lockups or hangs, not even events to show on the stability report in control panel

 

note upgrading from 21h2 to 22h2 using the upgrade assistant from microsoft also keeps stability! so there has to be some research to be done by hp, please.
