Random reboots on Manjaro-Gnome (Nvidia GPU)

Hello,
I’m experiencing somewhat peculiar issue with random system reboots, which are happening once a day, or so. This issue persists on both Pop-OS and Manjaro distros on the same laptop, so, i figured, it must be hardware specific.

Here is journalctl log prior one of those reboots: Jan 10 12:35:54 manjaro kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* Atomic update f - Pastebin.com
So, there is nothing really sinister happening, apart of i915 errors.

I also tried to track it down with rasdaemon, but didn’t noticed anything apart from occasional SSD errors: ras-mc-ctl --errors  ✔  base  No Memory - Pastebin.com

I guess, I just ran out of options to investigate it any further myself.
Looking for any possible help.

I also have similar problem. how did you extract system logs prior to reboot? what is the command for it? Thank you.

Sure thing.
You can run journalctl -p 3 -b -x,
where -p 3 stands for priority “Error”, and -x for specific prior boot.
For instance, journalctl -p 3 -b -1 will give you the last boot

Maybe the following tool could be helpful in your case:

Machine-check exception - ArchWiki

Check status of your microcode updates:

Speaking of Machine-check exception, I already set up rasdaemon, and didn’t noticed anything except Hard disk errors.
Also, I already have the latest version of intel-ucode: warning: intel-ucode-20201118-1 is up to date – reinstalling
