    Ok, I can confirm the problem was NVIDIA Driver, even after a fresh installation and put all the drivers up to date still was freezing but then I found this link, and I saw they are having the exact same problem, and downgrading the NVIDIA Driver to the previous version stopped the issue.

    Thanks

    Yup Microsoft strikes again, I just spent $200 to have my computer C drive whipped, windows 11 installed with ALL drivers ALL BIOS and all updates. RAN PERFECT for a month and then good old Microsoft has to come out with anther BS update and now it randomly freezes even after updating all the recommended drivers again. So sick of this BS over and over and over again, intrusive demanding Micrsoft with plague you until you update to a new package to whatever **** they want installed that prior to this the machine, MSI with 64 gigs of ram 2700 RTX video card, 12 core processors was running just fine prior.

    It is the NVIDIA Driver, try to use the "GeForce Game Ready Driver" Version 536.23 and stay there, if you have a higher version your computer will Freeze. I have the latest version of the BIOS for my XPS-8940 and still freezes if I install a newer version of NVIDIA driver.
