ROG Flow X13 Graphics Driver Instability

Level 7

As the title states, whenever I am playing any game on my FLOW X13 (RTX 4070), the game crashes within 10 minutes after multiple periods of stuttering, culminating in a freeze. Specifically when I am playing Destiny 2, the game runs perfectly, until out of the blue, 2-3 second stutters begin to occur. They go on for about a minute, stop for a while, and then continue. The process repeats until the game crashes with a graphics driver failure. This additionally happens with Dune: Awakening, Minecraft, and Assassins Creed Valhalla. 

I have tried many solutions already, but am considering the possibility that I may have just gotten bad silicon from ASUS.

Tried Solutions:

DDU, Driver rollback
Windows Fresh Install
Removing MyAsus, Armory Crate (helped extend gaming times from 5 to sometimes 15-30 minutes) 
Maximizing Cooling, Max Fans and vent elevation (Crashes at CPU & GPU well below 80C)
Disabling Boost, Installing G-Helper
Disabling all background and startup services 
Disabling all cpu-intensive audio enhancements

Is there anything else to do? Honestly, I can barely even stand playing games with these issues, and funnily enough, they only started occurring after a windows update AFTER my warranty had already expired. Additionally, this issue lead to a BSOD a few weeks back, which forced me to do a clean install after corrupting my system folder post-graphics driver failure. Sadly, this did not solve the issue.

Brah i have x13 with gtx 1650 and i have experienced the same issue as well.

I just hit windows key + r (run) then type each prefetch, temp, %temp% on each folder delete all then skip the files that cant be. Then after these 3 folders hit run again then type cleanmgr tick all boxes then delete.

After or even before doing this, always make sure that sysmain is disabled. Just locate the services by typing it on the search bar then find sysmain, disable it. I remember its a kind of superfetch service that slows for some pc as ive also watched it on youtube windows 11 random freezing fix videos.

Edit:

Do this everytime you use your laptop dont skip it. Its like a daily maintenance after each boot do this. If you dont the freezing will happen again. I have only started to encounter this right after using a maono microphone and asus told me to reset bios settings as it could have changed the bios settings thats why my laptop started freezing. I confirmed this because i clearly have been using some cheap microphone for months and it happened right after plugging it in played rust them the first freezing happened. I still curse my ignorance of hardware incompatibility back then.
