Steam games constantly crash
SOLVED (Hardware failure)
Hey y'all, I'm encountering an issue where all Steam games crash under load. When I load into a match in Rivals, increase graphics settings on the ship in HD2, or get to more intensive portions of Risk of Rain 2, the applications invariably crash to desktop within a minute or two. This issue occurs in both gaming and desktop mode. I'm not entirely new to Fedora/Red Hat, but have historically relied on the terminal and am brand new to gaming on Linux. Any suggestions welcome!

Works fine at JEDEC, this is just shaping up to be an issue with the motherboard not knowing how to handle XMP with AM5. Thanks ASRock!
