[SOLVED]Gnome freezes system

The problem:
When trying to login to Gnome(wayland, xorg or gnome2) from lightdm or via xinit, appears only a black screen with mouse cursor, which can move for 1-2 secs only and then stuck and all system freezes. It's not possible to access another tty and the only way is to restart via alt+sysrq+R.E.I.S.U.B key combination.

Things I've already try:
-Update system
-Reinstall gnome metapackage
-Reinstall amdgpu
-Delete all extensions from ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
-Checked journalctl --user, but I didn't find any error
-Checked xorg.log, which also seems that doesn't contain any related error
-Created a new user for test, but the problem occurs there too
-I also tried to remove gnome metapackage but there are conficts with some other packages and the operation failed.
- also removed the gnome's metapackage packages from pacman cache before reinstalling, to force redownload them in case there are corrupted downloads.

The system is almost 3 years old and I have used gnome before for a very short period before ~2 years. I can login to other desktop enviroments as i3(which I use the last months), plasma or cinnamon, without problem.
What else I can to find what is cause that problem?

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome freezes system

I had a similar issue some days ago, and GDM works well after I blacklist radeon module. I don't know if it's a issue of radeon or of gdm, but it works.

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome freezes system

I'm using lightdm, I didn't try gdm because I had the same problem using xinit. I don't know if radeon module is blacklisted, I thought that this happens automatically when install amdgpu driver, but I will check it.
Thanks.

EDIT:
I tried both to blacklist it via /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file and also as kernel parameter( module_blacklist=radeon), but both didn't make any difference.

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome freezes system

Thanks. This is the related part from journalctl command. If is needed I  can put all content, but it's quite long:

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome freezes system

Is this for gnome on x11 or gnome on wayland? Do the produce the same error?
Also please the Xorg log and try passing "amdgpu.dc=0" to the kernel.

You can use the method described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pastebin to easily paste lanrge outputs.

Re: [SOLVED]Gnome freezes system

This was from gnome on x11. I will try the kernel parameter and if the problem remains I'll check for wayland too.
EDIT:
Using "amdgpu.dc=0" as kernel parameter the problem solved. Now both wayland and xorg gnome-sessions starting.
Thank you very much @seth, as always you point to the right direction.
