System Information
Operating system: Windows 11 Home 22H2 Build: 22621.2283
Graphics card: NVIDIA Geforce RTX 4090

Blender Version
Broken: 3.6.3, d3e6b08276, 3.6.1, 8bda729ef4, 4.0.0 Alpha
Worked: 3.3.11 (master, Hash 6a3240da1d)

Short description of error
Over the last six months, Blender has become less stable with more crashes/BDOS. I could have put this down to throwing the kitchen sink at it. I stopped using it daily. After the last update (3.6.3) I now find that it crashes when I render using Cycles. (EVEE seems fine)

I have a lot of add-ons, first thing I did was uninstall and reinstall Blender so that none of my add-ons are possibly the cause.

Steps to reproduce

From the default startup, switch to Cycles rendering (tested with GPU and CPU separately; both crash)
Render cube
Render begins. There's usually a pause in the sample count, then either crash to desktop, occasionally BSOD. With Blender 4 I tested a large scene and got a hardware reset.)

My first assumption was a GPU bug:
I reinstalled the GPU driver
I then cleaned out the driver and manually rolled back to an earlier driver.
I then realised that crashing occurred even when using Cycles with the CPU

I performed some load testing on the GPU, nonetheless. No issues were found.

I believe that when first testing 3.6.3 I did get some completed renders, then maybe after crashes, it now always fails to render with cycles.

Logging is chatty but I don't know if the message "INFO (gpu.debug): Notification : Texture state usage warning: The texture object (0) bound to texture image unit 0 does not have a defined base level and cannot be used for texture mapping." is even related to the problem.

Thanks in advance!
