Consistent crashing for two months on two distros
Hello! I have been dealing with issues with my computer for 2 months now. First it was my keyboard that was not registering keys and the keys getting stuck, so I assumed my keyboard, which I think was 13ish years old at this point was broken, so I got a replacement. That didn't fix the issue (this issue is now fixed).
However I started having problems when gaming. I would be playing a game and after a while, the whole PC would lag out and a bunch of processes would crash. (The game, Wi-Fi, input, etc, I've checked my temps, they were below 50C for CPU & GPU) When Wi-Fi crashed the lag would stop, so after some troubleshooting that didn't work, I replaced my Wi-Fi card with a fenvi FV-AXE3000, it has an intel chipset that I've been told is widely recommended. That didn't fix the issue either. (Yes I did disable the old card in the bios). Next I thought it was my controller, tried fixing that, didn't work. Next I thought it was my microphone, that didn't help either. Next I swapped from linux mint to endeavor. The issue still kept happening.
From what I have narrowed it down to it seems to be the Wi-Fi firmware crashing and then it can't restart and then the CPU diverts its attention to that and the crash occurs.
Here is a snippet of a log with personally identifiable info removed

Here is some of the testing today I did, it only seems to happen in some games.
