I few days ago I posted about my games freezing on my new pc here:

https://lemmy.ml/post/41956931

I thought my issue was an outdated motherboard bios and also having screen locking/sleep mode on. It appears that was wrong because I am still having the issue. I have come prepared this time though! I have several proton logs of games freezing up. Some of the logs are the game freezing and continuing, other logs are the gsne freezing and completely stopping.

I also had a weird error popup that would come up when enabling proton logs for cyberpunk. I put that image with the proton logs. I put in my journalctl with the most recent cyberpunk freeze/crash that happened as well.

I am beginning to think that it is a driver issue with my 5070ti. I found this post on the linux gaming subreddit that has many people expressing the same issue:

https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1nn2d5e/games_freezing_randomly_until_i_alt_tab_into_the/

My overall concern is if this is a hardware issue rhat I need to get rma'd or just a linux issue.

I had a PSU with one malfunctioning GPU power cable, but I spent a year with a half powered 1080 randomly crashing and cursing the state of linux and nvidia drivers. Memcheck said the ram is fine, temps are fine, other games work fine, it has to be the software! Oops...
