Windows 10: DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION - trying to diagnose sudden restarts during games

ContextI am running a GIGABYTE A5 X1 Gaming laptop on Windows 11, and I experience sudden restarts in the middle of games like Overwatch and Valorant. The game simply freezes for a second and the laptop reboots, as though it was a forced reboot. This is with Automatic Restart under System Failure Startup and Recovery enabled. With the feature disabled, I simply experience hard hangs, where everything freezes and I can do nothing but long press the power button.Diagnosis AttemptI tried to diagnose this by following this wiki, running Driver Verifier, creating a restore point and rebooting.

DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION

Hello. I have been noticing that my games have been having issues. So I ran the driver verifier. I ran tests on every driver except Microsoft drivers. It said I had to restart. I attempted to restart, then get prompted with the Blue Screen of Death. I waited
for a restart. Then another Blue Screen of Death happened. Giving me the error DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION. I am assuming one of my drivers has an issue in it. But I don’t know what because I am stuck in a BSOD loop. What do I do?

Thanks.
