Seemingly random freezes under load

I have recently been having issues with my laptop freezing under load, like when i try to cp something. I know its not the display that's only freezing because the sound does also not work, and i have not updated pacman so its not that.

Kernel logs when it was happening:

Try to disable zswap - the journal doesn't contain userspace messages so no idea what makes you go swapping itfp and whether you're maybe also using a zram device (which is a bad idea to pair w/ zswap!)

Re: Seemingly random freezes under load

I have used the 'zswap.enabled=0' kernel parameter in grub:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="zswap.enabled=0"

And also toggled it in runtime:

echo 0 > /sys/module/zswap/parameters/enabled

But both didn't work especially when using cp.

Re: Seemingly random freezes under load

Do you have an updated journal/crash?

the journal doesn't contain userspace messages so no idea what makes you go swapping itfp and whether you're maybe also using a zram device (which is a bad idea to pair w/ zswap!)

You also might want to git memtest86+ a run (16+ hours - once cycle means essentially nothing)
