PC Crashing when playing various games

Hello,

Can someone look over my system specs along with the output of mhwd -li and let me know if I have the correct drivers installed? Unfortunately when i play a game such as Phasmophobia or Lethal Company I can play 3-4 rounds and then my PC slowly locks up. I will try to get some screenshots tonight when it starts happening. I appreciate everyone’s help.

In my Case, I launch cs2.
it runs, but 5s in, will get stuck in the logo screen, or main menu.

So yea, I have the same issues as well ( ;-; )

only way out is hard rebooting

Most likely one possible cause of computer locking up/freezing for no apparent reason, but you have 32G of RAM so I don’t know…

Maybe because you play on an integrated video chip this is why your Proton game session are short and crash the system.

//EDIT: also giving relevant information like system journal at the time the issue occurs, would be helpful.

OMG! Thank you soo much! I needed this.
Ever since I first hard-rebooted, Now I need to hard-reboot every single time I turn on my PC. Otherwise its black screen for eternity.

I have considered doing this however I am not having crashes as frequently now. When this occurs again I will be sure to add the journalctl entries and post. Thank you for your help.
