Linux mint crashes

[white schooner]

Hi guys,
Im completely new to Linux Mint and decided to install it like a week ago. Worked fine up until yesterday, where it started crashing for no reason. After that initial crash it has been crashing over and over (less than 5mins of use), even if im not doing anything on the computer.

Laptop: Lenovo Yoga 7i, no dual boot, bought 2 months ago
Kernel: 6.14 (the most recent one)

Im unsure what could be causing this issue. I ran the following command and got the following errors (image below), but I don't know if it has anything to do, or how to fix.

Additionally I downgraded the kernel to 6.8.0-90, which is supported until 2029. This kernel doesn't seem to crash
I am however unable to get my WiFi to work on this kernel. No wifi icon, the only options I get on click are:
-network settings: I get at loopback and network proxy.
-network connections: I do see my Wi-Fi network here, but there's no "connect to network" option, only "edit_

I can't edit the post

I apologize if the format is incorrect. Can also provide any other necessary information. Thanks in advance

crashing as in immediate blackout or kernel panic?

i think it's kernel panic? everything just freezes

need to forcibly shut down after that

rolling back to 6.8 has seemed to work, for now (doesnt crash), however im unable to connect to wifi
using wired internet currently. my only two options in the network manager are loopback and network proxy
