Manjaro fully freezes randomly

I have was on LTS kernel and it was freezing, changed it to the real-time kernel and it still persists.
A complete freeze, not even caps lock works.
Don’t really know what could be the issue. Had it on a external ssd and installed it again on my internal ssd, nothing seems to work. System log doesn’t say anything.
Could it be a problem with the latest version of manjaro or maybe my ram?

Does this work?

Can you post some hardware info ?

Yeah I tried it, it doesn’t work. Only hard reboot works.

Ok now… it is obviously:

The nouveau driver works with wayland, still the nvidia works also partially with it, but has not full support. The nouveau driver is still not 100% stable with newer cards and has no power management. That means, it runs always at base clock and does not clock up.

I would advice to use Xorg with the nvidia driver with your card.

Btw… did you disable the intel iGPU?

Thanks! I will try and see what I get.

I didn’t I installed the system just a couple of days ago. Not sure if its disabled by default.
