The freeze can happen after 1 hour of gaming or after 30 seconds. I'm currently using the 396.54.09 nvidia driver but upgrading to the latest 410 didn't fix anything. I also tried different DXVK versions to use with wine but nothing changed. Same with different wine versions.
Here's the list of games that crashed :
The Witcher 3 (Wine 3.19 + DXVK 0.90),
Skyrim Special Edition (same),
SoulCalibur VI (Steam/Proton 3.16)
There's no errors on the d3d11.log/dxgi.log after the crash.
Any idea ? Thanks

if possible set up a ssh and if it hangs/freezes check with other computer.
dmesg messages to read hardware stuff for example are good place to start
edit:
forgot to mention that you can use journalctl to check your previous boot messages also
like:
journalctl -o short-precise -k -b -1or 2 boots prior
journalctl -o short-precise -k -b -2and so on

Then I tried to run a game with lower clocks/memory (-200/-500) but still crashes with the same error. No idea what do. It suddenly happened like 1 week ago without doing anything specific. My temps are around 80 on full load, which is kinda average for a laptop.

though error 79 and GPU has fallen off the bus is most likely a PSU issue or in general defective hardware
View PC info
Tho it might be a PSU issue since when I heavily downclock (-200/-2000) games doesn't crash anymore. Is there any way to check if there's something wrong with the PSU (230W) ?
View PC info
no idea, best would be to buy a wall plug that can read the output and then just run it and see if it goes up there. Did you run your system with OC for longer periods of time? 230W PSU seems really limited even though its just a Laptop, but this GPU is usually around 150-200W itself, if you overclocked it at some point it might have killed something. Maybe you have a friend with similar powerbrick and can try with his or somehting?

New thing I figured out, the crash only occurs when using Vulkan. I tried the Rise of the tomb raider integrated benchmark tool to check on a native Vulkan game, and the "gpu has fallen off the bus" after the 2nd attempt of running the benchmark, without any overclocking.
So I also tried Superposition benchmark which uses OpenGL and it worked just fine multiple times, even with a slight overclock.
So it might be a Vulkan related issue. If someone experienced it before and has a fix for it, it would be nice.
Have you tried cleaning the computer and/or removing the heatsink from the GPU and reapplying (good) thermal paste?

I also cleaned and reapplied thermal paste, but didn't fix anything.
I'm aware it might be an hardware issue, that's just weird it happens only with Vulkan. And also, everything works when I underclock. So it crashes when there is a 100% Vulkan usage on the gpu.
