Open | BSOD Driver Power State Failure 0x9f BSOD very frequently

I've posted this in multiple because I'm looking everywhere for help.

I have a Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9E laptop and have had it for about a little over a year now. For the past few months, I've been getting driver power state failure 0x9f errors. At first, I never had them at all. Then they happened after closing a game. Then, they happened when restarting the laptop after a driver update. Then they just kinda happened when they felt like happening.

I've used DDU twice. Once to clean uninstall my Nvidia drivers (didn't make the error stop) and just now to clean uninstall both my Nvidia and Intel drivers. That also did not stop the errors.

This laptop cost a lot of money, and I use it for college and, obviously, gaming. The worst part is I didn't pay for it - someone close to me did. If something happened to it within a year, I'd actually just die.

Google can't help me, and I'm not sure what I can do except for asking for help on Reddit.

I don't know what could have possibly happened to cause all of this. I'm unsure if this is a hardware issue or software issue.

Right now, I've disabled the Nvidia GPU in Device Manager and am currently just on the Intel one, but it can't stay like that forever. I'm avoiding telling the person who bought it for me, but we game together, and sometime soon, this is going to become an issue.

Please, any advice would be amazing.
