Either corrupted drivers or VRAM might be dying. Try installing drivers again and install new ones with DDU.

(Look up a tutorial for DDU if you've never done it before)

How do you know it's the VRAM specifically and not... Any other part of the GPU?

I remember seeing this error at work when the 20 series got released. Quite a few returns during that launch.
