[SOLVED]Xorg "dumped core" screen goes black

This started today or yesterday but once or twice a day the screen randomly goes black followed by some error i didn`t have time to read and xorg restarting , I admit I have not searched too much for a solution and I am posting this after few reasearch , this is my only pc and tomorrow (12 hr from now ) , I have a important exam and I if it happens in the exam I will be screwed

Found this in journalctl:

                                         Stack trace of thread 497:

Re: [SOLVED]Xorg "dumped core" screen goes black

Xorg crashes in the nvidia driver - there isn't much context to that (kernel module errors etc.) what what sticks out in the provided journal is the proximity to a packet filter being loaded.
The cause for that is apparentl PacketTracer (because BPFs get un/loaded all the time when PT crashes…) which is hopefully not relevant for your exam.

Check older journals and see whether this is a constant pattern (BPFs loaded, Xor crashes in nvidia_drv.so), stop PacketTracer (if you can) - and pray.
Good luck.
