games crashing no idea why

[overturnedv1]

my games on my laptop are crashing, getting blue screens etc. Random stuff that i have no idea what the hell is the problem. Its not the temps, it crashes sometimes when i start a game, crashing or screen going some random color. I've had it crash when gpu was 55C.

What are your specs? Are your drivers up to date? Does this happen only when gaming, or also during normal use?

What was the last change to your computer?  That's probably the nexus of your issue.  If I had to,guess it would be a windows update, that spring creators update.  Start there if you have ruled out the easy stuff.

What if you put the GPU under a different load, such as running a benchmark? I would give Unigine Valley a test and see if the same thing happens.

Have you tried uninstalling drivers with DDU and then reinstalling them?

And it happens only while gaming, not during normal use?

Go into the Nvidia Control Panel and force the laptop to only use the 1060.

Screenshot what though? Usually my screen goes double shotted sorta, where its like doubled. Sometimes it goes half one color and half a darker shade of the same, sometimes the whole thing gets darker or gets a greenish tinge. I can't screenshot that. As for crashing, it just says stuff like "rendering device has been lost" or "unreal launch engine has found issues" stuff like that

Sounds like you need to replace your laptop. Either RMA it or get a new one.

It sounds like your GPU is failing, not much you can do about it in a laptop.
