KDE plasmashell crashing often

Hello, I've recently been experiencing issues with KDE plasma.
Plasmashell (taskbar, desktop, etc.) has been crashing intermittently for me, resulting in my taskbar disappearing and then reappearing after a moment once plasmashell restarts. It seems to be random, where it may run file for a while without issues and then randomly crash a few times in a short time frame. The crashes don't affect any running apps at all, and even screen shares aren't interrupted. The only thing that's interrupting me is the crashing itself and the crash handler popping up afterwards.

I've noticed that this issue is only appearing on my gaming rig and not my workstation or my laptop and I suspect it may be due to nvidia drivers as my gaming rig has a 4060 Ti while my workstation and laptop are on intel integrated graphics.
