Random Crashes

I have encountered a problem with my Arch install. The OS will freeze where input cannot be accepted for a couple seconds. The mouse can be used, then the mouse cannot be used. I think it's the fault of the Nvidia drivers, and the settings app. What I'd do is crank the settings (anti-aliasing and performance). I think my 3070 just can't handle those settings. If there are any other theories about this that you may have, I'd appreciate your input.

Rather sounds like the filesystem goes into emergency read-only and the system is slowly dying. Graphic cards usually freeze the screen (xorg crash) and/or panic the kernel (flashing keyboard leds).
Maybe set up an SSH server and get logs from it once the system starts doing funny things.

Is the system overclocked? Did you make a memtest yet?

I have not done a memtest actually. How would I perform one? Moreover, that makes more sense given the context of what is happening with my system. The system is overclocked. I have my 9900k overclocked to 5GHz locked.

Haven't you done some stress testing after overclocking?

No I have not. Maybe I should set my cpu to dynamic mode to fix it.
