Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it's probably a sign to get it checked by a professional. Tried all the fixes and mine turned out to have a hardware issue.

Hey there! Your Steam Deck might be crashing for a few reasons. Could be overheating if you're pushing it too hard with high-spec games. Check if it's hot to the touch. Maybe it's a software issue, so try updating your Steam Deck to the latest version. If that doesn't work, it could be a specific game causing trouble, so see if the crashes happen across different games or just one. Lastly, don't rule out hardware issues鈥攎ight be worth reaching out to support if you can't solve it!

Short and sweet: check if it's an overheating issue or needs a software update. Some games just make it work too hard.
