Thunderbolt controller is from June 2023
I don't know if I care enough to install a newer driver from a 3rd party site. I don't even use Thunderbolt.
Solved! It was the thunderbolt driver. Uninstalling it fixed the issue.

Man... I'd be screwed if I hadn't found that post.
But like... That wouldn't show up anywhere else? I've been using this PC since Christmas. Surely a memory fault would've crashed my other games by now? Especially more graphically intense games like Cyberpunk and Alan Wake 2.
I also just tried another EAC game (Fall Guys) and that one works fine.
Update: It appears to be EAC causing my system to crash. I disabled EAC and it's no longer crashing!
However... That's not really a good long term solution if I want to play multiplayer.
I found this thread describing the same issue...
I'm trying Elden Ring out on my new PC and it's crashing my whole entire system. Game runs fine for a few minutes and then the frame rate drops to 3 (literally 3), audio becomes choppy, my whole system is lagging like crazy, then my computer reboots. Happens even if I'm just sitting on the title...
Demo is quite nice. It's way harder than I thought. I thought it would be a Nier-like but it's very much a Sekiro-like with a focus on parrying. It also has the trademark attack delays where the enemies wind up, pause for x amount of time, then unleash their attack. So it's all about memorizing...
Found the culprit. Somehow my Windows power settings got updated to turn my display off after 15 minutes. Not sure how. It was previously set to never.
My C1 has been powering itself down after sitting idle for a while. It must be from a recent update because it never did this before. What I like to do is use the "screen off" setting when I walk away to prevent burn in. This leaves the display powered on but the pixels off. I figure it's better...
You need to edit the input and set it to PC mode. Look up how to do it for your model.

I don't know... Here's a few examples in my 1 hour of play:
- Pedestrians randomly freak out, start screaming, and running for their lives despite nothing happening
- First firefight I get in one of the pedestrians just stands there, stares into space, and every 10 seconds yells out "she's...
First time playing since release... It's still janky AF. I reach a traffic jam and accidentally bump into an AI car. Well that set off a ridiculous chain of events where the AI car decided to floor it and drive around in circles, colliding with nearly every car on the road. Eventually cars...
