Any advice on where to go from here? This console was running dmesg -w to try and catch an intermittent crash… And this is what I got. I am using an el cheapo USB wifi adapter that I’m suspicious of.

Everything was working fine until I rebuilt nixos with Nvidia support… Now my old generations of the OS are crashing after a few minutes (display on, no response to input, keyboard lights don’t respond, SysRq doesn’t work)

    Comm: wpa_supplicant being the wifi function makes me suspicious of your wifi hardware as well before I saw the rest of your post. I’ve had the best success with PCIe based wifi cards (if this is a desktop pc)

      Agreed, this wifi stick was mega cheap on AliExpress so I went for it. I may take a look at the PCB in detail if removing it restores order to my PC. Yes, desktop PC (still hanging on to 2012 hardware woohoo!)
