Question Hundreds of WHEA-17 Hardware Errors per minute?

I'm getting hundreds of WHEA-17 Hardware errors recorded in Event Viewer for every minute or two that I play games. I don't notice anything unusual in said games, in fact it's been happening for over a month now before I even spotted it because I generally have no reason to check Event Viewer. It'll also sometimes not happen for days and then reappear. As I said, nothing unusual in temps, or performance, the odd traversal / loading stutter (because I'm on a mobile Ryzen 7) but otherwise pretty good.

Specs:
Ryzen 7 7435HS
32GB DDR5-4800 dual channel
RTX 4060 8GB Mobile
Samsung 990 Evo Plus 2TB (was also happening back when I had the Micron 2400E 500GB that came with the laptop)
Windows 11 Home - 24H2
Using an external keyboard + portable 16" OLED running over USB 3.2 / DisplayPort Alt-mode & Power Delivery

AMD chipset drivers were updated a few weeks ago as was the laptop's BIOS. I've also turned off PCIE link state power management as some other threads suggested, but to no effect. Playing the Dead Space remake this evening was logging hundreds and hundreds of these errors for every few minutes of playtime.
Performance is, within my expectations for this machine, normal, and games generally run pretty smooth except where they're poorly optimized and/or CPU-heavy.

I have heard it said elsewhere in forums that this affects various motherboards and laptops, and that one person was told by Asus that they wouldn't be rolling out a fix because it has no effect on machine performance, but it's still concerning?
The errors appear like this:
"
A corrected hardware error has occurred.

PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

History of heavy use for gaming, video editing, or even bit-mining?

Power down, unplug, open the case.

Clean out dust and debris.

Verify by sight and feel that all connectors, cards, RAM, jumpers, and case connections are fullly and firmly in place.

Use a bright flashlight to inspect for signs of damage: bare conductor showing, melting, kinked or pinched wires, corrosion, moisture, browned or blackened areas, swollen components, cracks, loose or missing screws, etc...
 
- Asus OEM 240w power brick
- New laptop as of 2 months
- Used for heavy gaming a few hours a day, no other use
- Both times I opened it - to upgrade the RAM and then SSD - there were no signs of damage, loose connectors, or unusual dust buildup.

Further digging seems to show the device code as reference to "RTX 4050 Mobile" which is really odd as I have a 4060.
