Cyberpunk and BG3 all crash on repeat for me now, shortly after starting.
Even Overwatch seems to crash (though less often).
I don't see other people complaining and I suspect something with my system....
But.. I ran Memory Diagnostic: nothing found. DxDiag: not sure how to read it, but seems fine.
Looking at Event Viewer, the error info is unhelpful.
The only thing I know that is kind of strange with my system, and makes me slightly nervous, is if I use the power button to stop it, I can't start it for like 5 minutes.. if I try it glow briefly, start the fan and then stops. Looks like static electricity issue.. but no idea what to do about it or whether it is releated. I have this problem from day 1 (in April) but the game crashed only started this weekend... :/
I recently updated the NVidia driver, currently with latest 537.42, no one else seems to report that... :/

Hey,
Go setup a user-mode dump. Then start your application, let it crash and we can read the dump in WinDbg to try and determine the cause.
Edit: Use 0x00000121 as the CustomDumpFlag

Great idea, on it!

Use 0x00000121 and don't do a full dump. Mini is fine.

Dumps are fine when it's a software issue, but for hardware oddities they generally don't tell you much.
Do you have an oscilloscope or multimeter? I'd start by looking at the simple stuff like PSU voltages. If it's all fine until you start a graphics intensive game, it's quite possible that the PSU can't keep up with the load and voltages are dropping out.
What GPU card are you running, how many watts is it rated at, and what's the PSU rated at? I like to run with at least a 25% margin on the PSU - so if my processor, drives, and GPU are rated to need max 400W, I'll get a 500 or 550 watt PSU.

I have a license of SnagIt already, and plan to try some free screen shot software.
Any experience or recommendations?

With any particular features? Windows can take screenshots already, including of only the current window (alt + printscreen), and it has the snipping tool for arbitrary rectangles etc

My general philosophy for these things is simple: "if it needs a laugh track, it isn't funny".

I've never had much of a reason to believe that Saturday Night Live didn't have its live audience provide the "laugh track".
But then, it's been decades SNL has had anything genuinely funny either.

It started with some nice software upgrades.
Had my laptop, monitor, etc. on the kitchen table for years, while my home office remained an unused junk storage.
Cleared out the junk and moved my laptop to my office so my girlfriend and I could sit at the dinner table.
Also tidied up the entire attic and my drums are now set up and functional for the first time in almost ten years!
Found my old PS2, ordered a TULIP to HDMI converter, a HDMI switch, and connected my NES Mini, SNES Mini and PS2, together with my PS5, to the TV.
The NES and SNES Mini's had been laying around, unplugged, for years, because I lacked HDMI cables and inputs (which the switch fixed).
Also tidied up the place so my coffee table doesn't have controllers and headsets laying around anymore.
In terms of hardware, I got airco in my living room, bedroom and office.
In two weeks my thermostats (that haven't been working for years now) will get replaced.
And I'm waiting for a quote for sunscreens (working on daylight, and can be neatly placed inside the window frames.
They'll fix the indoor painting as well.
Outdoor will be done next year since all painters have long waiting queues.
I also had to replace my locks and keys because it was apparently very difficult and pricey to had an extra key made 
The gate lock had been broken for years, so I replaced everything with one key and they all work smoothly again.
It almost feels like a new home
Very happy with the changes
