I have been using Manjaro on my HP ProBook 650 G1 with 8GB of RAM Laptop for over a year without any problem, however since a couple of weeks my system has begun freezing randomly.
The first time it froze I was on a certain website and I thought that particular website [deleted] had left some malware script on my system because the system froze twice on that website.
Yet, later it began freezing on other websites like Youtube. Sometimes I suspect this happened after the last major update. I tried updating the kernel headers and it appeared that the problem had disappeared, but it came back again after I installed the software “Bottles”.
The problem disappeared for a day after uninstalling Bottles, but it has come back again.
After the system freezes I try the REISUB commands, but the system does not shutdown or restart, only the screen goes blank with only the mouse pointer showing, but not moving, when I press the ‘I’ key. The other keys give no response.
Here is the output of the inix report:
