Mine is a i9-12900KF so no graphics card to worry about.

Yes I had the same issues tonight using CURRENT as well.  Disabling soft updates 
did seem to make it happy for a bit longer but once it hits something on the 
filesystem it does not like it will consistently crash even across reboots.  In 
both cases it was an rm -rf of a directory with a lot of files (70k).

I did update that ticket thanks for opening one.
