This might be hardware-specific, but I cannot actually run games on Windows anymore. My machine hard resets every 10 minutes of I do -- some sort of an overheat problem perhaps.

On Linux everything's just fine. With the added bonus of 90% less cruft from the OS.

What's your hardware? I have the same problem that seems to come and go between driver versions. I have a AMD RX 6600XT. I've tried aggressively underclocking it, like you thinking it's some kind of thermal protection, but the issue resurfaces. And the Windows Event Viewer isn't helpful for debugging it. :/ Dual booting into Ubuntu and running the same games through Proton has no issues.

Asus Zephyrus G14 AMD from 2022. Some people suggested to me that this implies that Windows is able to actually the hardware, but that seems like a bullshit excuse to me. Especially when I'm seeing similar FPS on both sides. And it's not like the fans aren't running on Windows, they sure are.
