They say, "you mean it's just sounds?" thinking that for something to just be a sound is to be useless, whereas I love sounds just as they are, and I have no need for them to be anything more than what they are.
The system event logs might tell you more information, and there might be a crash dump you can analyze with WinDbg. I did something similar earlier today to solve a sleep-mode crash/reboot that turned out to be caused by a terrible fingerprint scanner driver.

Type "event viewer" in your toolbar's search bar, and then select Windows Logs -> System in the left pane. From there, you can scroll until you find an error at the time of the crash. It might tell you something; might not. If it notifies you of a crash dump, I can help you look through it.

e: Oh for the love of god, I did not read your post closely enough. Sorry. Carry on.

Oh, so that won't help? drat lol

Hm, it might, but after I wrote it I saw that you already looked at the event logs, then I assumed I was inadvertently mansplaining. But we can explore that avenue further. Can you post the complete event log for that error? Were there any others around the same time?

How do I post the log? Just copy and paste?

Yeah, or take a screenshot. Either way.

My layman's opinion is that you should get a new 980M
