Is my computer fucked?

You could try removing all your display drivers using DDU. Then, download all of the OEM display drivers from Acer's drivers page. Remove your ethernet/wifi to make sure that when your computer reboots, Windows isn't going to automatically install a video driver. Then, install all the drivers you downloaded.


Besides this you can enable Debug Mode in the NVIDIA control panel. This will set the Graphics chip to factory default settings and disable any OEM adjustments to your card too see if this changes anything.

To be fair i don't think your laptop is broken. Google trends shows a really large increase in people searching for this error since october. My guess would be that something is wrong with drivers or firmware. It could have also been the result of a windows Update as since Crowdstrike Windows is making large changes in how the Windows OS handles drivers.

Another thing that might help is disabling Fast Startup in Windows. Fast Startup loads a cached driver, there might be an issues in that cache. It's a silly feature you're not going to miss anyway.
Done all these, still crashing :)
 
I think it's time for you to come to terms brother, your GPU has passed as I thought. Like ace said, try swapping over to integrated and see if you crash then. If you don't, prepare the ceremony burial for your GPU and your laptop. May it rest in piss. I can almost guarantee you killed it using that overclock.
 
Try reset CMOS or Jumper.

Maybe verify your games or reinstall steam.

If it doesn't work, try complaining.

I tried to help you. :(

c:/windows/system32/

in that folder enter nvlddmkm* in the search bar, rightclick nvlddmkm.sys and goto properties

In properties select the Security tab, Select Users (PCNAME/users), click Advanced

It will say Owner: Trustedinstaller, click Change, enter in the text field Users and click Check names. It will underline. Then click OK.

Close the advanced security form. In properties, click Advanced again. The same form will open.

Then click The Users (PCNAME/Users) line. Click the edit button.

Select FULL PERMSISIONS. Click OK. Apply, OK Close. In properties, Apply, OK, Close. Reboot using the 'Reboot' feature in the Shutdown options. DO NOT SHUTDOWN.


If the above fails:

Connect a monitor, mouse, keyboard to your laptop if you can. Win+P and Disable your laptop monitor(Second screen only). This will rule out any NVIDIA optimus fuckery.
 
I know we're out of options but you could try installing your NVME drive in the slot below your RAM. I'm not sure if it has enough clearance so be careful.

It could be a broken NVME port, who knows! or drive?
