[SOLVED] Cinnamon crashes

I've installed Cinnamon desktop enviroment on Arch Linux, and it seems to be working fine, I can browse, etc, but randomly, after 10+ minutes cinnamon crashes. Any ideas how to solve this? What information do I need to provide?
EDIT: By the way, I'm running windows 10 and Arch on the same computer, when I start up Arch I get this message: kvm disabled by bios. Can this be the problem?

Could you be more specific on what is frozen.  Is everything on the desktop including the cursor frozen?  Can you switch to another terminal with ctrl+alt+F2?
For logs ~/.cinnamon.glass.log and the journal for the boot when it freezes.
Also have you successfully run any other desktop environment on this install before cinnamon?

Re: [SOLVED] Cinnamon crashes

KVM is disabled means that virtual machine is not enabled in bios. you need to post logs. Plus pc specs IE: uefi or bios, video card, cpu ... and so on.

Re: [SOLVED] Cinnamon crashes

I enabled VMM in bios and reinstalled ARCH. Now everything seems to be working fine. I must have made some mistake whilst installing
