Windows 10: Refresh rate dropping from 120hz to 60hz, WHEA-Logger Event ID 17 ?

I've got

OS: Win 10, 64 bit, version 1903, and
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070, Driver 441.87 (just rolled back from 445.87, same issue)
Computer: Aorus_X5 V6,
CPU: Intel i7-6820HK @ 2.70 GHz
Ram: 16.0 GB

For the past month my windows refresh rate seems to be randomly switching from 120hz and getting reset to 60hz, which unfortunately makes games unplayable and looking at the screen in general less nice. When this happens the display refresh in the Nvidia control panel is still listed as 120hz, although testing on UFO Test: Refreshrate will then show 60hz. The only way I can change it back to 120hz is by rebooting. If I manually change the display refresh down to 60hz, my laptop screen has crazy tearing and black flashes.

I think this is the same issue as this post (Refresh Rate Changing Itself at Random ). I started a new thread because they erroneously listed it as solved after switching to onboard graphics. My laptop only uses the dedicated gpu so this wouldn't be an option.

I've noticed the windows event viewer has a warning that seems to coincide with the refresh rate changing. It's listed as having occurred 5400 times in the past week, sometimes a bunch will spam at once.
The message is:

A corrected hardware error has occurred.

Component: PCI Express Root Port
Error Source: Advanced Error Reporting (PCI Express)

Primary Bus: Device:Function: 0x0:0x1C:0x0
Secondary Bus: Device:Function: 0x0:0x0:0x0
Primary Device NameCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A110&SUBSYS_35581458&REV_F1

I can paste the full message if needed.

I've updated all drivers, then tried rolling them back (unfortunately it seems I can't roll back windows drivers after 10 days installed), but so far no luck fixing this.

I updaded all drivers, installed all updates for windows 10, checked the latest drivers from ASUS, updated BIOS. Nothing helped to avoid this WHEA problem. I wrote to ASUS support, still waiting their answers but I am not sure that they will give useful information how to deal this it. Did you have a chance to fix it thus far,
