One of the simplest fixes to solve this issue is to disable Steam Overlay. This is an inbuilt feature from Steam that provides gamers access to Steam using multiple keyboard shortcuts while playing games. However, it can lead to issues like the GPU crash dump and many other bugs and glitches. You can turn it off by following these steps:

Open your Steam Library.
Right-click on Oblivion Remastered and go to Properties.
Under the General tab, turn off Enable the Steam Overlay while in-game.

2) Run as Administrator

If the previous step didn't help solve the GPU crash dump issue, ensure you have allocated enough resources to the game. The easiest way to do so is to run the game as an Administrator. Follow these steps:

Right-click on Oblivion Remastered.exe.
Select Properties.
Under the Compatibility tab, select Run the program as an administrator.
Now, choose Run this program in compatibility mode for and select Windows 8.
