Bug Description

My system crashes randomly. The more multimedia packages I run (like vlc, stremio, zoom, browser with YouTube open) the more likely my system will crash.

The odd thing is I can play Civilization 6 for hours without 1 crash. But as soon as I start one or more of the mentioned packages I can start to expect random crashes. After this kind of crashes it might even happen that the system cannot boot. Than I have unplug the power and start the system again.

What I already tried: memtest for over 8h (100% pass), tried nouveau drivers instead of proprietary, removed keepassxc, removed TeamViewer, readout S.M.A.R.T. from my drives

When the system crashed most of the time I cannot ssh into my machine. It's offline than. However sometimes I can see when there's a crash comming because gradually more and more packages become unresponsive. In this case once I could ssh into my machine producing me this information: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/TcMgygrPCF/

I found a work around by disabling acpi. No crashes anymore after that. Exept 3 caused by software that got corrupt due to the many random crashes. After that nothing anymore
