[solved] Freeze with youtube and feh - Force Reboot

i have encountered a problem with my arch linux

this force me to reset my computer every time
i have noticed that the audio of youtube video (or from spotify) keeps playing but i'm not able to do nothing cause everything gets frozen

You should certainly elaborate on "xf86-video-intel [installed]" ./. "GTX 970" ...
