hi,
from what i've seen this is a somewhat recurrent problem wiith most windows versions and Nvidia Gpus, but this is my fisrt time getting this issue.
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
and nvlddmkm.sys as what failed.
i've seen people talking about Unistalling the GPU Drivers, but i really don't have enough experience with this sorta stuff to try it out
on thing to note is that this error just started happening a few weeks from now, so it could've been a driver update
specs:
Alienware M15 R6 Notebook
11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11800H @ 2.30GHz 2.30 GHz
Nvidia RTX 3070 laptop
most recent drivers and updated version of Windows 11
Not Overclocked
i really don't want to have to uninstall all my drivers, so if anyone knows a workaround, id be incredbly grateful.

Hi Gumball. I'm Greg, 10 years awarded Windows MVP, specializing in Installation, Performance, Troubleshooting and Activation, here to help you.
While I am here to help you, let's update your Display driver at issue, and all other drivers that need updating.
The most basic thing we need to learn to maintain a PC is how to keep the latest manufacturer's drivers current. Windows drivers are rarely enough.
Update the Display driver from the PC or motherboard maker's Support Downloads web page for your full model number, HP Serial Number or Dell Service Tag - from the sticker on the PC.
While there check also for newer chipset, BIOS/UEFI firmware (very important), network, sound, USB3 and other drivers, comparing to the ones presently installed in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start Menu.
If this doesn't give you the latest or ideal driver for what you need, compare it to the driver offered by the Nvidia Update utility here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Scan.aspx?lang=e...
For Display issues one fix that is working is to Roll back or Uninstall the Driver on the Display Device > Driver tab, restart PC to reinstall driver.
You can also try older drivers in Device Manager > Display device > Driver tab > Update Driver > Browse > Let Me Pick.
Then you will know you've tried everything in addition to Windows Update drivers, which are rarely enough.
Feel free to ask back any questions. Please report back detailed results for each step, and each step in each link, so I know what else to suggest.
