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I thought my issue was an outdated motherboard bios and also having screen locking/sleep mode on.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 just used memtest, but I ran multiple full passes over night. Flaky memory won't always be caught by a single pass, but in my case it was really bad.
