The logs indicate a GPU memory issue.

A few suggestions based on information within your logs -

- Please try enabling Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling:

> **[Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/hardware-accelerated-gpu-scheduling/)**
>
> Introduction to Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling. Modernizing the GPU scheduler at the heart of the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM).

- Run the Windows Memory Diagnostic and any other relevant utilities to identify memory-related issues.

It may also be worth running through our other GPU related solutions, in case any help:
