Hello,

First of, I want to apologize if I put this in the wrong forum category. I am still relatively new to Arch specifically, so I am unsure if this problem should go here or not.

I have been using Linux for a few years now, and only fairly recently started using Arch, as the previous distros I have used haven't been able to provide the flexibility I want or need. I have loved my time on Arch. I come here with a specific problem I am having that I am having a hard time describing and time researching so I finally decided to bite the bullet and try posting here.

I play a few games that are a bit graphically intense, and throughout my time on Linux I have had a couple problems with crashing but none as bad as Arch has been giving me. And recently it has been getting a lot worse. Any time I have played Helldivers 2, DOOM Eternal, or anything that makes my graphics card sweat a bit, I can get at least 10 minutes of the game in before my screen freezes, goes black, then either 1) completely hard resets, 2) all my applications close and my window manager (KDE) restarts, or 3) My screen turns back on frozen on the last frame I saw, forcing me to hard reset. I wasn't having that many encounters with it up until starting this past week where it does it more and more frequently. I have even had it happen when I simply launch the game.

When I check the logs, I see something about the mesa driver and amdgpu crashing and resetting but I have been unable to determine the cause. At first, with the help of someone else, it seemed like it might have been Steam Game Recording, so I disabled that and the issue seemed to resolve itself but only temporarily, returning fairly quickly and somehow more frequently. Attached is the most recent journalctl log I have, and any assistance would be greatly helpful. Also below are my specs, should that be helpful.
