Graphics Card seemingly causing system crashes

Hi there, today while playing Minecraft, every so often, my system would lock up, and a few things would happen. Sometimes, I would crash to desktop out of the game, but essentially every other program was uninteractable, until I hard rebooted my PC. Othertimes, the system locks up, the screen goes fully dark, and the display port signal to my monitors goes away entirely. If I'm in a call in Discord while this happens, the call stays connected for a little while longer before it eventually drops too, staying like that until I hard reboot. I haven't had much time to test the different ways this can happen yet on my system, since I've only been able to play for a few hours, so I'm hoping to test with some other games tomorrow to see if the behavior is the same. Seemingly I have no issue if I'm not playing a game, however, since my computer sat relatively idle for at least 4 hours with no crash. This is seemingly a completely new issue to my system. Discord has had some trouble where a call would "hang" until I reopened the window, but other than that, I've had no major issues since installing Bazzite.

I've skimmed the latest log with 'ujust logs-last-boot', most of it is greek to me, but looking into some of the 'failed' kernel messages is leading me to believe my GPU is to blame, specifically lines like

I'm unsure where the log file is stored, so I'm unsure how to best send the full readout, there's definitely other errors happening in there that don't sound particularly benign.

I do have my device info here:

Thank you for any help!
