Hundreds of WHEA-Logger 17 errors leading to a crash and error code 0x00000116
Hi! For the past several years now, I've had the same intermittent issue; it goes away for weeks or months, and then returns for days at a time.
Basically, under even moderate gaming load (FFXIV on full settings is not that intensive! I can play Monster Hunter Wilds with this thing!) my PC will freeze up after a few minutes. Monitor and keyboard is unresponsive, screen is frozen, audio sometimes continues for a few seconds before cutting out with the most unholy noise, and then the whole thing either restarts or just sits there frozen until I put it out of its misery with the power button. I open the event viewer to find hundreds of WHEA-Logger 17 errors.
[Here is my prebuilt PC](https://www.bestbuy.com/product/ibuypower-slatemr-gaming-desktop-intel-i7-11700f-16gb-memory-nvidia-rtx-2060-6gb-480gb-ssd-1tb-hdd-black/J3R75JLTZF) (I'm sorry that, being a prebuilt, I can't be more specific with specs!)

GPU: Nvidia RTX GeForce 2060

And then:
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000116 (0xffffcc029aa39010, 0xfffff80699f22440, 0xffffffffc000009a, 0x0000000000000004). A dump was saved in: C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 01ab458d-da47-4192-825b-6bb9b23d8b6a.
Things I've tried which did not help:
* Updated the BIOS * DDU'd new Nvidia drivers * Rolled *back* Nvidia drivers * Did a fresh reinstall of Windows 10 * Updated to Windows 11 * Ran a full DISM scan and sfc /scannow * Updated the driver for the specific PEG10 slot that seems to be causing the problem * Gave full editing permission to nvlddmkm.sys * Dusted the inside of my case aggressively (I have a cat, so you can imagine) * Cried, begged, prayed, etc
Help?

Update: Can now say that absolutely none of the above solutions worked. I guess that means I just need a new GPU. RIP my money.
