[Moved] System crash/hang whenever i play GPU intensive games

My system hangs/crashes whenever i play GPU intensive games. I've tried switching DE, WM, and Kernel but the issue persists. I've googled around to no avail. My temps are fine and everything.

I've had my pc for about 3 weeks and it has only been an issue on Arch.

specs:
GPU: RX 7700 XT
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600
32GB RAM
DE: KDE
WM: kwin
Kernel: 6.10.10-zen1-1-zen

I've had my pc for about 3 weeks and it has only been an issue on Arch.

I have tried LTS/stable/zen kernel they all crash.
When i look thru journalctl i get a different error most of the time.
I do not know what is causing these crashes. Which is why ive come to the forum for help.

specs:
GPU: RX 7700 XT
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600
32GB RAM
DE: KDE
WM: kwin

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=299188 (edit: nvm, seams to have solved itself)

Can you reproduce the problem with high memory pressure?
Is your memory intact? e.g. might wanna run a memtester

edit:
Also, what games have you tested?
linux native games? proton/wine?
Also please post the errors, don't just tell us you have some:

journalctl -b -1 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

(-1 is last boot, -2 the one before that etc.)

Re: [Moved] System crash/hang whenever i play GPU intensive games

last error i had: http://0x0.st/X3-Q.txt

I have tested with Elden Ring, Minecraft (with shaders), Minecraft (lunar client), Overwatch 2.
As long as i keep my settings not too high my games dont crash.

I will test with high memory pressure and come back with the results.

sorry for crossposting i felt like it wasnt neccesairily appropriate to post this issue in newbie corner considering it was concerning my hardware and system crashing.

Re: [Moved] System crash/hang whenever i play GPU intensive games

Sounds like some of the reBAR shenanigans in recent kernels. Try enabling ResizableBAR support in your UEFI.

I forgot to say: sometimes when i try to log into wayland my screen goes black and my monitor loses signal.
I have also tried to reseat my GPU which didnt change anything.
