Unpredictable system freezes
My computer started to randomly freeze. System stays frozen, until I press some key on keyboard.
So far, it freezes when system was resumed from hibernate. At least, I did not encounter any when I just shutdown the PC.
I am unable to find the culprit, and I don't see anything in logs. Although, I suspect that might be related to 'usb 1-3: device not accepting address' during boot.

Re: Unpredictable system freezes
I also find that it is more likely to freeze during package downloading.

Re: Unpredictable system freezes
When did it start? What was upgraded at/around the time it started freezing (pacman.log)? What have you already tried in the way of "find[ing] the culprit"?

Re: Unpredictable system freezes
I can't tell exactly when it started. However, shortly before it started, my PSU died, and I replaced it with backup one.

Well, not much, I tried to look at logs to see if there is anything related. I really don't know how to deal with such issues.
I noticed that freezes are very frequent when I downloading something, e.g. packages (but they still occur randomly even when I disconnected from network).
System does not freeze completely, everything "unfreezes" when I press something on my keyboard. And freezes appear only after I resume it from suspend or hibernation.

Re: Unpredictable system freezes
Though I'm only going on hunches and conjecture, you might try either downgrading the Kernel or using an LTS Kernel. If it's related to some system driver(s) -- like certain WiFi cards, or other "new" stuff -- an LTS Kernel might suit you better.
