System thread extension not handled (nvlddmkm.sys) when playing games

Hello, I have encountered a problem with my laptop when I play a "specific" game. I play a lot of steam games, Microsoft games but when I play Valorant it gives me the BSOD System thread extension not handled (nvlddmkm.sys). It happens almost every time I play the game either crashing in-game or when I try to exit the game it shows the BSOD. I tried the following: Reinstalled Windows was my first option, it didn't help at all it still shows. Reinstalling my graphics drivers both NVIDIA and Intel via DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller), this kind of helped because the frequent crashing was lessened but it still happens sometimes. Gave it a rest, I gave about a week of not touching my laptop.

My laptop: ideapad 3-15IML05 Laptop - Type 81WB Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10210U CPU @ 1.60GHz 2.11 GHz

GPU: Geforce MX 330

OS: Windows 10

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Gaming
