I lied, my game crashing issue is still not fixed. (lemmy.ml)

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I thought my issue was an outdated motherboard bios and also having screen locking/sleep mode on.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.

Crash logs:

Any help is appreciated!! Thank you all for your time!

EDIT: After much testing, my issue seems to be driver related. 5000 series drivers are just really buggy atm. Thank you all for your time and effort!

I'm still crap at deciphering wine logs, but it doesn't seem to show anything out of the ordinary.

Assuming this is a driver issue, have you tried or are you using akmod-nvidia-open: https://rpmfusion.org/Howto/NVIDIA#Kernel_Open (example for Fedora)

I think some distros still have them split into 2 alternative packages.

Otherwise, do a heavy ram test with memtest86+ (booted) to check your XMP profile and RAM sticks are good based on your previous post.
