KDE Plasma keeps crashing on kernel version 5.14.14-zen1-1-zen (Normal Arch)
I recently installed Arch KDE, got my drivers setup and everything. But it seems that when I play a game, a few minutes after I start it, my whole OS crashes. It's really getting annoying, any help would be greatly appreciated.

At the login screen, are you using a Plasma Wayland session, or the older Plasma with X.org?
Plasma with Wayland has stability issues with games still, so you should try using the older X.org session and see if it still crashes.

It says X11. If I have wayland installed, how do I replace it with something else so I can play games without crashes?

Going to need more info.
What hardware are you using? If it is old, have you checked the board for bad capacitors?
What drivers are you using for your video card?
Does it crash for all games, or just specific ones?
