HP Omen 15 laptop crashing and BSOD again after temporary fix

Hello. I am once again asking regarding a crashing and BSOD issue with my HP Omen 15 laptop. I previously had this issue earlier in the year and made they below thread.

Redirecting

At the time a GPU issue was suspected so I uninstalled both the AMD and NVIDIA drivers with DDU and reinstalled them from the websites (the HP website for the AMD drivers since it was an integrated card and using the ones from the AMD website for AMD caused more crashing issues and from the NVIDIA website). I was crash free for about 1 and a half months before it began crashing and BSOD again. It occurs mainly during gaming but also during idle. The crashing appears to have gotten worse than before as it now occurs more frequently. I have again provided the system info and new DMP files below. I will try redownloading the drivers again but if anyone had any other suggestions I would appreciate it.

System Info:

System Model: OMEN Laptop 15-en0xxx

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics (16 CPUs), ~2.9GHz

RAM: 16 GB RAM (two 8 GB sticks)

Storage: 1 TB SSD

GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti
