So, I am looking for any ideas, help or head(s) smarter than mine.
This is my main problem for some time now, easiest way to replicate this is to run anything proton related. After that, some apps just keep spitting this via dmesg:

After a restart, all apps run perfectly fine of course and I can do whatever I need to do, until they stop working again.
-
On one forum, someone was suggesting a problem with memory, so I memtested it hard — everything is fine
-
On another, the idea was to reinstall
intel-ucodepackage, this unfortunately didn't help neither -
Finally, I've tried
sudo pacman -Qnq | sudo pacman -S -because it was a suggestion somewhere too, no changes after that
My boat:
Arch Linux x86_64 / 6.10.9-arch1-2
Gnome 46.4 / Mutter (X11)
@
ASUS Z97-PRO (Wi-Fi ac)
INTEL i7-4790 + NVIDIA GTX 1070 Ti
Big, fat thanks for your time!
Update: Idea from jrgd did the trick! I am still testing it, but so far, I can't force anything to fail and everything seems to be working fine!
Okay, tested this just now, disabling swap makes no difference but thanks for a new command for the future!
Which memtests have you tried? They all function a little differently, and passing one doesn't mean it will pass another. My rig passed OCCT and TM5 with flying colors, but it would fail every time on prime95 (until I eventually got it stable).
I just went for the memtest86 and let it do its thing.. Should I do some more testing? I really feel like this is not about memory, at least not in a “physically damaged” way.
It might not be a memory thing. If you run out of options and are down to trying memory again, take a look at the MemTestHelper test recommendations. You shouldn't have to run tests for more than ≈0.5–1.5 hours at a time (the 8hr+ testing regimen is pointless).
