Launching some games freezes my laptop montor

[Karkulka]

When i launch a game my laptop monitor freezes and i hear a windows 11 disconnect sound and i cant do anything but hard reset.
It seems like its just the monitor cause video sound plays and i can still talk in dicord i think.

Sounds like your laptop's display driver is crashing when launching games. A few things you can try:

- Update your GPU drivers (check the laptop brand site or NVIDIA/AMD/Intel directly).

- Turn off any overclocking if you have it.

- Try disabling fullscreen optimizations (right-click the game’s .exe > Properties > Compatibility).

- Also try launching in windowed mode using launch options like -windowed or -noborder.

If the sound still works, it's probably just the display crashing, not the whole system.

I dont think its cpu overclocking cause ive never done that.

I recently installed the newest drivers.
But when i was checking the drivers i saw in the nvidia app in the graphics card section of the my machine tab that it says under the gpu name that no display is connected.
Could it be that?
Everything was fine on sunday because i was home and had my xppen mointor connected, i left on monday for 5 days and took my laptop with me and it started happening then.

i might be overanalyzing cause that section might only show external monitors since i have a laptop

turning off fullscreen optimization didnt work.

But some games work like helldivers 2, superfighters deluxe and krita all turned on.
Marvel rivals, deep rock and deadlock froze
those are all i tried so far

Games and programs not from steam dont seem to be affected cause league of legends booted

If you are on nVidia:
Revert to driver version 566.36 unless you use a RTX 5000 series GPU. Newer drivers introduced stability issues.

If you use a nVidia RTX 5000 GPU, a AMD GPU or a Intel GPU:
Steam -> Settings -> Interface -> scroll down -> Enable GPU accelerated rendering in web views (requires restart) -> turn off (grey slider)
Steam -> Settings -> Interface -> scroll down -> Enable hardware video decoding, if supported (requires restart) -> turn off (grey slider)
