    Not able to play any games in my laptop

    "Video_dxgkrnl_fatal_error" while playing games on my Dell G3 laptop ?

    So every time I play a game after like half an hour or so, my game crashes (blue screen giving the error VIDEO DXGKRNL FATAL ERROR ), then when I relaunch the laptop my discrete GPU is gone, like missing from task manager and hidden in device manager. To fix it I have to restart my laptop then the Nvidia drivers come back and when I play my games again the same problem happens after a few minutes of playing the game. It's never happened unless I'm playing a game.
    I have tried:

    • reinstalling the graphics driver from NVIDIA.
    • removing the graphics driver using DDU in safe mode and reinstalling the latest one.
    • running sfc and dism

      None of the above methods helped.
      My laptop is out of warranty so don't suggest I take it to the Dell service center as they will just say to replace the motherboard, I know that and that will be like buying a new laptop.

      My laptop is a Dell G3 15 3500
      Specs -
      i7-10750H
      RTX 2060 6gb
      16Gb ram
      256Gb SSD
      Windows 11 home
