ahh classic turn off overlays one by one as a test: teh game launcher overlay, the GPU vendor overlay, and any recording or chat overlays. A new driver can break an older overlay hook.

been there man check Event Viewer Windows Logs Application for an Application Error at the crash time 🔥 the faulting module name tells you whether its teh game, the graphics driver or smth else.

clear the shader cache after a driver change. on AMD, use Reset Shader Cache in Adrenalin. on NVIDIA, delete teh contents of %LOCALAPPDATA%\NVIDIA\DXCache while no games are running.

lol same thing happened to me as a stopgap, netsh wlan show interfaces tells u the state after waking, and restarting the WLAN service (net stop wlansvc then net start wlansvc in an admin terminal) is quicker than a reboot.
