GPU keeps crashing when reaching 100% usage?
Hi! so for a few days now, ive been trying to play Cyberpunk w/ Ray tracing ultra graphics. Fun Problem? It keeps crashing when my GPU reaches 100%, doesnt matter for how short. Everything freezes for a second, then "Cyberpunk seems to have Flatlined".

The Error that it keeps giving me whenever i see it reach 100% is as follows: The description for Event ID 153 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.
If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.
The following information was included with the event:
\Device\Video15
Error occurred on GPUID: 900
The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table

Tried so far:
Closing my Browser (Opera GX)
closing discord, turning off ANY overlays. windows, discord, GoG. i have the game on GoG
trying old Nvidia drivers (for example 566.36) -the newer ones i tried as well- both Studio and Game ready. always cleaned everything with DDU before installing any new drivers ofc
Turned stuff off in-game. Could go back ingame and take a screenshot if necessary, but the Ray tracing ultra setting with some things turned off
windows hardware accelerated gpu scheduling is off
Debug mode both on and off didnt do anything
turned NVIDIA audio drivers off
plus im probably forgetting some stuff...
i currently have the GPU limited to 85% / 75% usage but it STILL spikes to 100?? i dont know what to do or how to fix this, i just want to play the game lol. I havent only had issues with Cyberpunk - for example i used to get random freezes every few days that stay for like 5 seconds and then i can keep playing. Hadnt happen for a bit now, though.
Do yall have any idea what i could do? Genuinely out of options, and im not very tech-savvy. A friend i no longer really have contact to built this pc for me and i dont really have anyone else that could help me. 😞
Does this sound like a hardware issue? Am i cooked and should just send it back? Ive not even had it for a year.
Edit: Oh. and its not a heat issue. my case is massive and even when playing cyberpunk the GPU doesnt go over 60c - 70c
