Built-in UHD 770 in the Intel 14900K CPU (no overclocking). I am using Dasharo system firmware if that makes a difference.

I’ve used this system extensively and think some recent update may have introduced it as I started seeing it only recently. Hard to tell though since it only happened after 4+ hours of interactive work each time.
