please help.

I will give you 3 different methods that could maybe fix your issue:

Method 1: Simply downscale your resolution (from 1440p to 1080 or from 1080 to 900p.)

Method 2: Did the error started to happen after you installed the latest drivers? If so, you can Roll Back (Downgrade) your display's driver from Device Manager by typing "Device Manager" from the start menu. Extend the Display...

Method 2: Did the error started to happen after you installed the latest drivers? If so, you can Roll Back (Downgrade) your display's driver from Device Manager by typing "Device Manager" from the start menu. Extend the Display Adapter, right click on your graphics driver and click on Properties. Click on Roll Back Driver and just select on the reason why you want to downgrade it.

Method 3: If both methods didn't work, I recommend you fully to uninstall the driver from Device Manager. Again, right click at your graphics driver and click on Uninstall. Once you uninstall, simply reinstall the drivers (Update Driver Software) , reset your laptop and hope for the best.

Method 3.5: You can also try some third party display uninstaller tool (although I don't really know any tools but people said it worked.)

I hope this will solve your issue! Good Luck!

EDIT: Oh. I forgot you can also reset your graphics preferences.

EDIT 2: Clean your laptop's fan(s) / Make your laptop run cooler. The crash could also occur if your laptop is really hot.
