Turns out the reason I couldn't land on a planet in Elite Dangerous is because I have an AMD graphics card. 🙃 Do not recommend
Isn't PC gaming great

I live in Portland and sometimes I make video games if I can find somebody who will pay me to do it.

As soon as I drop out of orbital cruise I get an error code "Orange Sidewinder." Searching the forums reveals:
"This is typically indicative of a data error on your commander. However, following our recent investigation, this error appears to be related to a bug within the latest AMD adrenalin 22.7.x and 22.6.x drivers and our QA team is currently looking into everything we can do from our side.
In the meantime, we'd strongly recommend that you uninstall the current AMD drivers and reinstall version 22.5.1 drivers that can be found here as this is a last known stable release."
(My driver version is 22.20.x but it seems like this is still an issue.)
Just finished a two year stint of random bluescreens persisting through numerous Bios updates, Linux and Windows OSes, many clean OS installs, and fully rebuilding the PC ship-of-theseus style including a processor arch switch and TWO gpu switches. RMA'd the first processor of my life! The final thing that did it? Architecture switch of the GPU from AMD to Nvidia. I went from AMD to better AMD early on with no effect.
The only debug error I got was a generic processor - same on both processors! - WHEA Event ID 18 cache hierarchy. Going Nvidia now I have no bluescreens. It made me hate both computers and AMD.
