Good evening.
So, here is the situation: I have used this notebook normally since it`s purchase in 2016, the HUGE problem now is that with some games, the CPU usage spikes to 100% and instead of slowing down its tasks, it just freezes everything, even the mouse and most of the time it goes to a BSOD.
The games that caused problems are the following:
The only other game I tried and for some reason hasn't shown any problems is Minecraft Dungeons, no problems at all.
Another detail that might be relevant is that all freezes are accompanied by a glitchy sound.
Notebook GIGABYTE P57v6w
CPU i7 6700HQ
GPU GTX 1060 6GB
RAM Ripjaw(1x16GB)
Windows Home 64bit
Storage: 120gb SSD(boot) +525gb SSD(CrucialMX on SATA port) + 1tb HDD.
I did search for possible solutions to the best of my googling abilities and have done the following so far without success:
Update OS
Update Drivers(as well as GPU drivers)
Cleaned the insides reseated ram, SSDs as well as conectors for battery and fans. Changed thermal paste(Did this 3 weeks ago thinking it could be due to overheating).
CMD
Nothing found on sfc /scannow
Nothing found on checkdisk
Nothing found on Windows Defender Full Scan
The last 3 BSOD were due to the following:
VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE due to nviddmkm.sys
DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION
VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERROR
I really fear my GPU might be failing, or the CPU for that matter. Because neither can be replaced.
Really looking for some insight.
The only advice I read and didn't do yet was to change the fast boot setting.

The games that caused problems are the following:
- Minecraft(every version tried): It runs nominally on its first creation, but when I tried on the following day, it would freeze and crash 3 to 5 seconds after entering the world. At first I managed to play by unticking the "read only" on properties, but after a while even that didn't work.
- League of Legends: Straight up freezes forever or goes into BSOD after either entering game or purchasing an item(but not always).
- Valorant: only tried twice and both times it froze into a BSOD, happened when clicking on a certain icon in the menu.
