[SOLVED] Segfaults, segfaults everywhere - eviltoast

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-ucode package, 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!
