Xid 56 errors and game freezes

When I play CS:GO my game can suddenly freeze for up to a minute and when I check the journals, I see this:

Jan 19 20:43:21 Kevin-B350MA kernel: NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:08:00): 56, pid=17700, CMDre 00000001 00000080 00000000 00000005 00000034

According to NVIDIA documentation the Xid 56 errors are related to either hardware or driver problems. I have also gotten Xid 69 and one other I can't remember except that I know that it was a driver only error.
How should I fix this? Googling only returns NVIDIA documentation, which is useless since all my Xid errors aren't on the "common errors" list.

This did start happening spontaneously. The only possible thing that I have done before that may have triggered this is yay -Syu (pacman -Syu but including aur packages).

EDIT: On the NVIDIA documentation Xid errors 56 and 69 seem to point to display engine error (Xid 56) and graphics engine class error (Xid 69). Exactly how I fix this I still don't know.
EDIT 2: Trawled my dmesg:

Xid 32 points to a "invalid or corrupted push buffer stream", and NVIDIA says it is caused by either a driver error, system memory corruption, bus error, thermal problems or an "FB corruption". No clue what an "FB corruption" is.
Another journal log from previous boot -
