GPU errors in the event viewer


I wanna throw this out there. Are you absolutely sure it ain't your power supply or GPU that is the issue?
I built a PC in 2024, it worked completely fine for about a month. But slowly, my games would act weird, and game crashes happened more and more often. And eventually the power supply started smelling weird and my PC wouldn't start on without turning off. Replacing the psu fixed everything.

Today I encountered another error in the Event Viewer and Reliability History, a LiveKernelEvent.

What happened: The computer had turned off the screen after being inactive for a while (which is normal), but when I pressed a key or moved the mouse, the screen didn't turn back on. The screen is a Samsung Smart Monitor, and this has happened to me before. I usually fix it by simply forcing a restart. Once that was done, the screen returned to normal, and then I saw the error in the Event Viewer and Reliability History.

Could this be due to the monitor itself causing these errors?

Thanks.

Edit: Two live kernel event errors appear, one with code "1a8" and the other two with code "1b8"

It's definitely my smart monitor. I turned it off today to clean it (while the PC remained on), and when I tried to turn it back on, I couldn't. I had to force a restart, and right at that moment, those errors reappeared in the reliability history.

Could this be a software issue with the monitor?

Hello!

I've been using a different monitor for several days now (my main monitor has been unplugged the whole time).

And I haven't encountered any of the hardware errors I was getting before.

However, a different error did occur today, basically a crash of nvcontainer.exe.:

How can I interpret this? Are the errors that used to happen but no longer occur due to the smart monitor then?

Thanks.
