Weird crashes on Windows Server 2025

For this past month I’ve been noticing crashes on my server related to ntoskrnl.exe and win32k.sys.

From what I’m gathering, with issues on these two processes - The bugcheck code only states “SECURE_KERNEL_ERROR”. But at this time I do not see any other driver failing. Am I looking at a RAM failure error? I ran Prime95 to stress RAM, but it all looked fine. Does anyone have any pointers into what could be happening?

I discovered what it was - Windows Server 2025 + Docker runtime a bit out of sync with the latest version. This is a reminder for me to script out a way to automate the Docker runtime for Windows Server, or complain to Microsoft that their install script should also consider updates:
