Regular full desktop crashes (nvidia, kernel, scheduler?)

Hi guys,

I’ve been recently getting a lot of crashes, usually when playing games (Zenless Zone Zero or Pillars of Eternity, recently - either full screen or windowed), but also less frequently just when using my pc normally, browsing the web and such. The error manifests with small dots appearing on the screen, which get bigger untill the full screen is glitched, check the picture I attached.


I’ve run the bug report script: 3434a3d
but I see it only show logs of the current boot, and that was after I rebooted (as the pc becomes completely unresponsive, can’t switch ttys either), So I’ll attach here logs from journaulctl -b -1 trimming for 30 minutes before the crash happened (around 10:30am): 15e88fb.
This looks like some kind of conflict between the driver and kernel (see errors at 10:31) but I don´t know what to do with that. There are some errors earlier pointing to the scheduler (10:30). So far I’ve tried switching to either the RC or the LTS cachy kernels, but that didn’t seem to make any difference in terms of stability. I’m not sure the most recent driver is to blame either, as I had similar crashes on the previous version as well. journalctl --user-unit plasma-kwin_wayland --boot 0 shows no entries and I’ll also attach the output from sudo dmesg in case it helps: 7f28dff.

Any idea what is going on and what I could do to make the system more stable? Crashing when gaming is something I kind of accepted, but just using the desktop is already a bit much to take.

EDIT: About an hour afterwards it just happened again, but the desktop just went black instead of the glitches, logs: 9c751f1

Switching to the closed version of the driver to see if that helps with sudo pacman -S linux-cachyos-nvidia. Not ideal as I wanted to stay in open, but I saw some errors related to the GSP firmware so maybe this could help for now.
