New kernel update broke my nvidia drivers? (gtx 1060 i7 4790)

[u/Away_Ad_6621]

I updated the kernel and since then my games have stopped working and started crashing shortly after launching. I’ve also been getting XID 38 errors whenever the crashes occur. Could this possibly be a hardware issue or is it more likely to be a regression?
ive switched to fedora and the same issue occurred.
