Driver WUDFRd failed to load crash

SPECS:

GPU- FE3080

CPU- 7800x3D

mobo- B650M Pro RS

RAM- Corsair Vengeance 32gb DDR5

PSU- Corsair RM750e

OS- Windows 11

 

All of my displays disconnect and the fans on my GPU spin at a high speed, forcing me to power off my PC. This happens most while in game (happens anywhere from right when I launch the game to ~15 minutes in) but has happened at the desktop and even once as I was logging into windows after it had just happened. 

 

I see this warning in the event viewer when it happens- "The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load.
Device: ROOT\DISPLAY\0000
Status: 0xC0000365"

 

Things I've tried so far- 

Updating display drivers

dism restore health and sfc scannow

Windows memory diagnostic (no problems found)

Prime95 large FFT test overnight which ran successfully 

DDU in safe mode to uninstall current drivers reinstall fresh nvidia drivers (581.08)

Updated those drivers to 581.15 after still having the issue
