Arch linux crashes when I play a video

Hi
I recently installed arch linux and when I play a video in a web browser arch crashes (It happened with Firefox and Chromium). Arch freezes and I have to reboot my pc. I can't even change to tty.
Can someone help me? How could I see some kind of log and find a solution.
Thanks.

Re: Arch linux crashes when I play a video

Does this only happen in browsers, or does it also happen if you run the videos through e.g. VLC or SMPlayer?

To see if there's something in the journal related to the crash, please post the journal of the previous boot to a pastebin service, and share the URL that is returned.
Like this, for example:

$ sudo journalctl -b -1 | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us

Re: Arch linux crashes when I play a video

In general don't do that: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Genera … es#Bumping

Try removing xf86-video-intel and any xorg configs attempting to configure the "intel" driver if installed, there's no sign of a crash in that log, you need to run and post that immediately after having had to reboot from a crash. If that is the case, then there's no kernel level error here (or the journal wasn't^flushed properly due to the hard reset, in which case you might get more if you enable sysrq and reboot with REISUB) also try editing your grub config and remove loglevel=3 and quiet, as the might mask vital information.
