Thanks for the report @Moomoomike

This issue is on our radar and we are currently investigating. I’ve updated the entry in our database to also include your report.

Generally we’ve seen increased GPU crashes for NVIDIA 40/50-series GPU since October 20th, with driver version 621.01 having released around this time. It may be helpful to try rolling back to a previous stable driver version in the meantime.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
