Does the problem happen without using CRU if you disable G-SYNC in the NVIDIA control panel?

I have not tried that. For better or worse I successfully looked at some data charts I logged with hwinfo and I clearly see voltage issues and some related spikes.

Here some images from hwinfo: I have many more.

Would you still advise disabling CRU and turning off g-sync in attempt to reproduce issue? Is that voltage drop clearly NOT firmware/drivers/settings related? I seem to not get that drop with CRU modified settings! :-)

Edit: I set CRU back to default settings and disabled g-sync in nvidia control panel. The exact issue occurred again with same nvlddmkm fault.

I have re-installed CRU patch and turned g-sync back on thank you

With custom CRU settings to the following I do not get black screens:

CRU settings:

1) Display Properties V rate to 60 from 48 (final range 60 to 165)
2) Delete all monitor audio settings
3) Change detailed resolution to:
1. Front porch to 8
2. Total to 2640 pixels and 1559
3. Sync Polarity to -
4. Refresh Rate to 165hz
