Failed units:
When I write a game crashes this is what happens:
- The game is frozen but I can move the mouse, clicking won't result in anything
- Desktop shortcuts like Alt+Tab, Super+D don't work
- Switching TTYs with Ctrl+Alt+F1-6 doesn't work
- Game sound keeps playing
- I can only recover system with Alt+SysRq+E, which takes immediate effect and brings me back to login screen
- Fan sound decreases after a few moments, as if I have closed the game
I downloaded CS:GO and launched the game. Whn I clicked the ingame "play" (not the play button in Steam) button, which is supposed to show map selection screen, I got a crash. I recovered with Alt+SysRq+E and launched CS:GO again. This time I opened the Settings page of the game and got another crash. I launched CS:GO again, joined a match and managed to finish one, but the game crashed on the second match. Now, if I try to play CS:GO I will usually get a crash in less than 2 hours. I tried these to remedy the CS:GO crash:
- Launching with and without -vulkan launch parameters
- Launching with and without -nojoy launch parameters
- Using Steam flatpak
- Using Steam with native runtime
- Launching both in Optimus Hybrid modes and NVIDIA-only mode
- Using a different DE (Enlightenment)
- Launching with and without Mangohud
- Dumbing down game settings so CPU and GPU are below 80 C, otherwise CPU is between 85-95 C and GPU is 80-90 C and I am GPU bottlenecked
- Trying Arch Linux instead of Garuda Linux
- Disabling Steam Overlay
- Using 510, 515-closed and 515-open NVIDIA drivers
and all of these failed. I got frustrated and decided to install Apex Legends. The game used Steam Overlay to show me a login screen and I got another crash. I switched Steam account and Apex started playing its intro video and I got another crash in the middle of the video. The sound kept playing until the video finished and silence. Then I tried a match and got another crash.
Desperately I installed Nobara Linux (Fedora 36 based, KDE edition) alongside Garuda. Nobara didn't have a single crash in both CS:GO and Apex Legends, with Mangohud enabled but Nobara has its own issues which I don't want to deal with 
Here is a log file of Apex Legends crashing. At 22:31:36 I do Alt+Sysrq+S and Apex Legends has already crashed, then I do Alt+Sysrq+E to get the system back. I have examined the file beforehand and haven't found anything suspicious.
I just didn't try using an older kernel but Nobara doesn't either (it has 5.17.6 at the moment) and I don't know what to do next. Any ideas?
