Yesterday night, I was watching a live sports match. It was quite late, so I was falling asleep. However, at one point I woke up and saw that the video was buffering (probably the connection slowed down). Now, I left it try reconnecting for 1 minute after which my notebook freeze.

The mouse didn't move, the Windows button didn't work, Ctrl+Del didn't work. I left it like that, for around 2 minutes after which I saw the notebook was seen to not be powered on, I wasn't in front of the screen so I can't guess what had happened.

Anyways I turned on the machine, I couldn't find any BSOD warning, but just 1 message that says "to restart the machine to complete installing the AMD DRTM driver". I have never heard of this driver, nor do I know what it does, nor do I know why my laptop froze and if it is related to that.

Does the community have any suggestions to check out what went wrong and/or what this DRTM driver is?

I am no expert on this, first time for me as well. Does Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement help or D-RTM? Google those as well.

As to how much I understood, it's some security feature for OS and UEFI during bootup.
