I have recently moved to Arcolinux-bspwm (currently 5.9.8.a-1-hardened) on my Thinkpad E14 AMD.
I'm experiencing some random system freezes, previously always when I was use Bluetooth headphones + watching movies and for a first time complete system freeze when listening music & browsing webs.

My initial though was that it is related to power management, so I turned everything off.
During freeze I can't completely do anything only hard reset helps.
Also tried to find something in /var/log/ but couldn't find anything related to previous boot.

Any ideas what this might be? or what I can check to identify where issue is coming from?

Type probe in the terminal and give us the link.

We can try to find a solution.

Is this the first time installation on that hardware?

The first reflex I have is did you try another kernel.

I see you have linux-hardened installed.

Was the standard linux kernel not working for you?

Try that one.

Did you check this one.

Applied resolution provided by user ONDRA5, but no luck.
No idea what is going on.
Kernel changed, everything is updated.
But same thing is happening form time to time, one just a minute ago.
Happened during music recording. Funny thing I was able to hear everything playing in background but no option to select anything, no mouse, keyboard, no tty option, completely nothing, just hard reset helps. It feels like some kind of lock screen.

An update on issue, it seems that LTS kernel solved everything.
Issue still present on other kernels.

Use system monitoring tools like htop or top to keep an eye on system resource usage (CPU, memory, disk) during normal usage and when the system freezes.
