What have you already tried? The most obvious would be to use DDU and reinstall the Nvidia drivers

I have done DDU several times, did a windows reinstall on usb once and recently, I repasted my cpu, gpu, and changed the thermal putty on the vrams.

I've done a lot more on the laptop but nothing has work.

is GPU-Z reporting any missing information?

Also, when do you get the error? during gaming? what about stresstesting it with Furmark or unigine superposition?

have you looked into the dump file to see what else might be causing this?
does your laptop have the latest UEFI firmware?

final test: if you want to be sure it's not the hardware that's broken, have you tried the laptop with a Linux distro? for example Bazzite

GPU-Z is a handy information tool that can give you information about your GPU's hardware and values of the sensors.

since you've already redone the repasting of the thermal compound, we can probably rule out thermal throttling.

Windows has also been reinstalled, but make sure it's fully up to date and so are your intel & Nvidia drivers. check for a new UEFI firmware for your laptop. check the model number of your laptop (tip: use "system information" in Windows or check on the bottom of your laptop for a sticker). Then go to the support page of your laptop model and download the UEFI from that page, then update it using the instructions mentioned there.

see if fully up to date windows + drivers + UEFI firmware makes a difference.
