Hello
Ever since I have been introduced to Arch linux, I have this issue where the system freezes and becomes non responsive to any clicks. I can still move my curser but the clicks just don't register at all. Once the system freezes, there is no way to bring it back except hard reset, or I press Cntrl+Alt+F2 and enter TTY mode where I enter my username/password and type "reboot" but it takes about 15 minutes to reboot this way (it also displays the error [Failed] Failed to start journal service before eventually rebooting).
I can't seem to pin point exactly what I am doing which crashes the system. I have wiped/installed Arch several times but the problem keeps coming back. I have also flashed intel microcodes too. Sometimes it freezes while copy/pasting from Dolphin, sometimes it just freezes when browing on firefox/chrome etc.
Here is my system info.

I have a SSD partitioned with dual OS (Windows 10). The windows OS is on a separate partition.
I have also attached a journal log from the boot that crashed. https://easyupload.io/xyas1h
Could anyone please advise on what could be the cause and fix for it?
Thanks

I press Cntrl+Alt+F2 and enter TTY mode where I enter my username/password and type
top
sudo iotop
The system doesn't freeze.
Something™ (plasma, baloo) does - likely either by bashing your CPU, your SDD or eating all your RAM (32GB is nothing to a leaking screen buffer, it can eat that within seconds)
The posted journal is useless, try "sudo journalctl -b -1" for the journal of the last boot.
The windows OS is on a separate partition.
That's irrelevant, see the 3rd link in my signature anyway.
