PC crashes in steam game and then fans go on overdrive
I'm a Linux noob, so i am looking for assistance on what details you'd need to help me, and how I can get those logs to share...
Started using Bazzite since around May this year. I am now on bazzite 41. Happy to share more log details, with your guidance...
The issue I experienced multiple times last night, while playing a game through steam, was that my PC would just crash - black screen. The monitor would not come back on (so it didn't seem to be restarting), but all of the fans on my motherboard would just spin on overdrive (making quite the fan sound - that my PC never makes).
I'm a vanilla user and haven't overclocked any of my hardware or installed custom drivers. Should I?
It happened before, but I thought it was just an anomaly and I wasn't using Linux as my daily driver. But it doesn't seem right...
Could anyone guide me in how to even start to find the answers (Linux noob). Is there software I need or do I need to provide the logs ( I'd be happy to share, if you can guide me on finding them). Anything else I can provide to assist me in this?
Other than this, it's been an incredible experience and things work so smoothly.

So, I used the command:
And here are the logs I thought relevant from when it crashed again today when playing Overcooked 2:
It doesn't crash with other graphic intensive games, e.g. games using the Unreal engine.
