@foallowjr The first error is pretty generic and thus not helpful. The second is a crash of a component of the Nvidia graphics driver. The third has multiple causes, but the most common one these days is overclocked hardware.
I would start with the GPU: if you've overclocked it, or you're using GeForce Experience's built-in overclocking tool, revert to stock speeds. If that doesn't help, do a clean uninstall and reinstall of the driver, as described here:
If that doesn't help, and in particular if you see another error that lists python37_x64.dll, please look for a BIOS update for your motherboard. I can't tell from your dxdiag which board you have, but if you want me to look for updates, just list the exact model. If you can look yourself, your current BIOS version is 2204.
The issue here is that for this generation of Intel CPUs and the overclocking boards that run them, the default settings for the CPU and sometimes the RAM can be somewhat unstable. Updates are rolling out to fix the problems, but not all boards have them yet. So if you can't find a newer BIOS version, or you update but it doesn't fix the python37_x64.dll errors, please disable XMP and CPU Turbo Boost in BIOS. XMP is easy to find and is a single button; Turbo Boost may be well-hidden within Advanced settings and could be called something slightly different.
