Random Blue screen freeze with white horizontal lines

This is the video of it:
https://youtube.com/shorts/6flyE9-nxDw

It just happens sort of randomly as I'm doing things. It wasn't always like this. I can't switch tty, its completely unresponsive to keyboard input

Are there any logs I can check?

Specs:
ryzen 5 5600x
rx 480
32gb ram
dual monitors (4k and 1080p)

distro:
Kernel: x86_64 Linux 6.15.6-arch1-1
i3 with polybar

I think it tried to construct the DRM panic screen there but failed miserably

It was probably scared by being filmed in pivot more
You probably have to rotate the phone before recording to get a landscape video.

Can you still reboot w/ the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Keyboa … el_(SysRq) (nb. that you've to explicitly enable that *before* any crash)
