Kernel Panic while gaming

Now that I switched to Linux, I have no idea how to troubleshoot something like this. πŸ˜„ any way to figure out what caused it?

Kernel panics, in general, are caused by hardware issues. You may find hints in the logs, but it's unlikely. From experience: if you have an undervolt going, turn it down a notch. Linux is a bit more sensitive to those apparently.

yea the other day I turned on BIOS 'gaming mode' (which is probably just an overclock profile) and raised the Memory frequency.. kernel panic on boot πŸ˜„ hm tricky. "gcadapter_oc: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel" 😱 its tainted!!!

Kernel panic again, this time while on a voice call. I had some audio issues, so it might be connected to that. I know how to analyze a windows bluescreen, but how do I analyze kernel panic? All suggested logs I could find are just post-reboot, so completely useless for troubleshooting.
