From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Would it be too much to remove the GPU and run videos? How often does it happen? If it's easy to reproduce, and it's not too much work, you can try removing the GPU and using onboard gfx to see if the problem persists.
Another suggestion, maybe try different drivers.
Alternatively, you could boot do a new install to a usb, install the same or different drivers or both, to see if the problem persists.
This does seem like a stability issue, either on the hardware or firmware side. It could even be as simple as reseating the GPU.
btw, do you happen to remember whenabout the first crash happened? Did it start out sporadic and grow more frequent?
it started happening before one month. It could have such pattern, yes. In the beginning it started happening some of the times I was watching any video. In the end it ended up happening almost every time. Today I'm still trying to make it happen though but not yet.
Sorry to hear that. These types of issues are very frustrating.Something tells me it's your GPU, but CPU and RAM issues can look totally weird like this as well.
