Acer PredatorHelios Neo 16(2023) Since NVIDIA or Windows update, my graphics driver has begun crash

Can anyone help me in fixing my problem. For the past year, this laptop has done me good. However, recently, since an update (I believe), not sure whether it was an NVIDIA or Windows update, my graphics driver has begun crashing. I primarily noticed this happening in valorant. I've contacted riot support at the time, and they told me to perform DDU, in which I did, however, this did not help in fixing my problem. Now, I receive errors from other games as well such as league and monster hunter world that my graphics driver has apparently crashed. I've tried everything I could, I updated every driver I could find in the device manager and yet this still happens. I've tried checking my gpu if it was faulty but there seemed to be no problem at all. Is there anyone else also experiencing this? Is there any way I could fix this?

Here are some of the steps to speed up your laptop from crashing:-

Try windows + r - on the run window - type msconfig - click ok
click on services
check - hide all microsoft services
click on disable all
click on startup
disable all the startup items
click on apply - ok - restart the computer. Loading process will be very fast now..

Note:
You can always enable the services and startup items later or set it to
normal startup from selective startup later on the General tab

Try windows + r - on the run window - type appwiz.cpl - click ok
it will show you the list of programs
remove all the unwanted third party programs.
Please don’t remove any drivers.
If you are not sure , please don’t remove it.

Try windows + r -

on delete files

Try windows + r - on the run window type

Try to do a chrome reset
open chrome

click on settings
Scroll down - go to advanced
click on restore setting to default
you will see reset settings - cancel
click on reset settings
Open chrome

If it is still not working then we have to do a refresh and reset

click on start - settings - update and security - recovery - reset this pc - get started

or

on start - type here to search - type reset this pc - click on reset this pc on the top - click on get started

or

Try windows + r using keyboard
on run window - type systemreset

It will show you keep my files and remove everything
chose keep my files
chose the account - type the password - click on local reinstall - click on reset
It will be in progress..
login to computer and start using the computer.
If it is still not working

click on start - settings - update and security - recovery - reset this pc - get started
chose remove everything
click on local reinstall - just remove my files - click on reset
It will be in progress

Note:

If you do refresh ( keep my
files ) - all your personal files like pictures, music , documents ,
videos will still be intact. Only the applications will be lost

If
you do reset ( remove everything ) - you are doing a factory
default. It will become like a day one computer. It will wipe out
everything and take your computer to day one like a new computer.

You can also do the recovery in an alternative way..

There
are two alt keys on the keyboard. If you look at the bottom row of keyboard you can see the one on the left side of space bar and the other on the right side of space bar. The alt key on the right side will be looking like alt, alt gr or alt car. Turn off the computer. Hold the alt key on the left and tap f10 continuously. It will go to repair mode. It will show you chose an option, continue, troubleshoot. If it is not going to repair mode, turn off the computer. Turn on the computer. Hold the right alt key ( alt gr or alt car or alt ) and then
tap f10 continuously. It will go to chose an option continue and troubleshoot..

It will show you chose an option, continue, troubleshoot Go to troubleshoot - click on reset this pc - click on keep my files ( only applications will be lost ) choose your account and type your password - click on local reinstall - click on reset It will be in progress

If the keep my files option is not working.

Go to troubleshoot - click on reset this pc – click on remove everything
– click on local reinstall – just remove my files – click on reset
It will reinstall windows.

If the just remove my files is not working..

Go to troubleshoot - click on reset this pc – click on remove everything
– click on local reinstall – Fully clean the drive – click on reset
It will reinstall windows.

Note: You can also go to chose an option , continue , troubleshoot by holding the alt key + tapping f10
or alt gr + tapping f10 on the keyboard while turning on the computer. Once you see the troubleshoot option, you can stop tapping the f10 and stop holding the alt key. Then you can try the keep my files and
remove everything ( just remove by files and fully clean the drive ) by following the steps which was mentioned above.

No bro, I've tried doing a factory reset and it still persisted. I was able to play around 8 hours non-stop but recently just received the error particularly in Valorant. Such a shame this keeps happening.
