Laptop's nvidia gpu causes apps to crash

[ducamvinh]

I have a laptop with a MX150, and apparently, system would randomly crash when the laptop is plugged in. I posted a question and no one has answered, here's the link.

upon further inspection, i've found the problem lies within the nvidia gpu, because that gpu would be utilized when the laptop is plugged in. This is confirmed as when i disabled my nvidia driver, even when plugged in, everything works fine, but when i disable the intel driver, system would be impossible to use. I tried installing latest drivers, then older driver provided by laptop manufacturer, uninstalling geforce experience... nothing has seemed to work. sometimes system doesn't crash until probably a few minutes after booting up, or sometimes just immediately after booting up. Is it possible that i have damaged the gpu when i replaced the thermal paste, i mean it can still run, just not properly. Please any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Question from ducamvinh : "Apps would crash when laptop is plugged in"

Hi guys i have noticed some of my laptop's apps would crash when plugged in, specifically the ones that read system status like task manager, cpu-z, gpu-z... Regular apps like chrome work just fine. This happens only when it's plugged in and when unplugged, even if i set performance to the lowest settings, everything would be fine. The laptop is not slow, it's just those apps just straight up crash when i launch them, and sometimes trying to click on them results in windows crashing too. Please help as this is my main laptop. Thanks!
