My nitro 5 an515-54 keeps crashing. PLEASE HELP IM TIRED.

I had no probelms with my acer nitro 5 until about a week ago. My laptop kept crashing and event viewer showed it was caused by ms gameinput. I ended up reinstalling windows via usb and it only got worse. I got BSOD all the time and it would just shut down on its own before i could check the error code or anything. My laptop also started running on 3.8ghz+ all the time (base clock is 2.4ghz) which it never did before reinstalling. My Nitro sense wont work anymore. I've tried installing different ver of it and tried many fixes from yt and forums but none of them worked. A few hrs later it only crashed when i was on battery, it would work perfect when plugged in. And now after a few days its back to crashing when plugged in aswell. After it crashed its really annoying to boot up again. It first shows the acer logo and a loading icon which does nothing, i just hold down power button and skip it at this point (ive tried waiting an hour and it wouldnt boot up). Then it shows automatic repair and takes me to restart, which is when it finally takes me to my login screen. And yes my laptop is performing fine other than crashing, if i get time to launch a game i get very smooth fps. My be is that the overclock is causing these issues.

I'll attach the most common WARNINGS and ERRORS shown in event viewer, even though its like theres a new error everytime. Most of these errors keep occuring but for different apps.

Open Security and Maintenance>Maintenance>Reliability Monitor> Problem reports that will give you more info on those crashes. A clean ISO install almost never solves crashing caused by GPU rogue drivers. Did you try to uninstall your display drivers with DDU (by Wagnardsoft) in Safe Mode? Each time you abort the system by pressing the Power Button for >5 seconds you are corrupting system file(s) that are repaired/replaced when you reboot but it should not be a routine. Go online, make sure the internet is working and restore the system image and paste this in the Command prompt, opened as administrator: Dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth and Enter, should complete successfully or rerun it.

Then paste this in the same Commend prompt: SFC /scannow and that will repair corrupted system files, rerun till OK.

Could you tell me how to uninstall and reinstall display driver using DDU? I tried to restore system image but it said windows cannot find a system image on this computer. I've done sfc scan quite a lot of times because I see that everywhere but its never detected corrupted files.
