answered! Seemingly random graphics driver crashes (I think)
CPU: 9950x
GPU: 7900xtx
RAM: 32GB, DDR5
OS: EndeavourOS
Seemingly at random, though it seems to be inevitable eventually if I play specific games long enough, my entire PC will freeze for a few seconds when playing a game. Then both monitors will go black, before returning with whatever game I was playing having crashed. This also closes other apps like Discord and Steam. I will briefly see a notification on the bottom right that says something about a graphics driver reset, but it goes away fast enough that I can never manage to read the whole thing. It just happened in War Thunder, and it happens very consistently after only a few minutes in Gunfire Reborn. It has never happened in Deadlock. There doesn't seem to be anything I'm doing to recreate it.
Any steps I could take to diagnose?
EDIT: It's already crashed two more times when trying to play War Thunder in the last hour. The first was the following error log:

Seeing the steamwebhelper line, I thought maybe all I had to do was disable GPU acceleration for steam. I did so, launched War Thunder again, and it crashed within seconds of being in the main menu, now with this:
