[Unresolved] Games crashing the system
questionbug
Hey folks. Appreciate any help here. I am not very tech literate so please excuse me. Used Bazzite for a few months. Then had system upgraded from 5600x with 3080ti to 9800x3d. (new cpu/mobo/ram)
Issue is games crashing the system either loading into
a game save (American/Euro Truck Sims)
the main menu (Baldurs Gate 3, Warframe)
The monitor has stopped receiving any display. Any audio playing has also stopped. CTRL ALT F3 does not bring it into terminal mode. Rebooting seems to be the only option to return to normal.
I haven't had much issue otherwise with Bazzite on previous PC build.
I have tried to troubleshoot the physical components. (updated BIOS, EXPO Ram profile, reseated all parts)
Something that did seem to help temporarily (about an hour before it crashed again) was turning off Steam setting for pre-caching shaders
then it went back to crashing as before
When the games do run, there aren't any performance issues
I also tried to boot into ostree:1 but same there. Very lost and don't know how to troubleshoot.
The solution below switching to Proton GE or Cachy did help until recently. Now all the games are crashing again even when switching layers and resetting shader cache.

Solution
rebar should be on and try using a custom proton like proton-ge or proton-cachy you ca get them from ProtonPlus not sure if it's preinstalled but if it isn't get it from Bazaar
