Hi
In the old days, IRQ's clashed quite often, and manual handling was required.
So the Interrupt ReQuest for CPU/RAM/GPU access is compromised. 2 or more devices / apps have the same number and both bother the CPU/Memory/GPU for attention at the same time.

Check for Windows Updates:
Update or Roll Back Graphics Drivers:
Open Command Prompt as administrator and run:
sfc /scannow DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealthRun Windows Memory Diagnostic to check for RAM issues.
Disabling hardware acceleration or switching to basic display drivers temporarily can help isolate the issue.

Building on what Anne said I'd try uninstalling graphic drivers from the DMgr and installing Dell's latest versions, if necessary.
