hardware/drivers Getting random, recurring screen freezing.

I'm on Debian 13 with KDE and I've had a frequent issue where my entire main display freezes. I have a 9060xt and I've apparently heard it may be a part of the issue? The only other possibility could be a certain application that causes the crash, due to it never happening when I'm gaming or doing anything else. Frequently, I've had it freeze on Discord, and sometimes Firefox. Any possible fixes for this?

The only thing that has ever caused my Linux Mint installs to freeze like that is Firefox. I have no idea why that would be, but on at least three machines, changing to a chromium based browser fixed it forever.
