I can disable my intregrated graphics, so that my Nvidia card (dedicated) works, but its really painful to always disable whenever i go and play games. i went to nvidia control panel and tried to manually select programs but that doesn't work. Game launchers specifically, they don't seem to use the dedicated graphicsa card. I also tried to right cick and "Run with graphics processor" on my nvidia, doesn't work. Any way i can set default to play games without always needing to disbale my intregrated graphics card.

If you are trying to use the igpu that's part of the cpu, then it will crash. It's not powerful enough for the game. You need to use the dedicated gpu. You'll also need to make sure all the drivers for such are upto date.

Yes, i am using a dedicated gpu. But when i run the game in intregrated gpu, it works perfectly fine but my problem is that even though the game is set to dedicated gpu, it will crash.
