random freezes

I began experiencing random freezes 8 or 10 days ago. The whole system is completely unresponsive (I can't even ssh from another computer) and the only way out is turning off the computer with the power button.

I have no idea if it is a hardware or software problem. I ran memtest86+ and it didn't report any errors, other than that I don't know much what to do.

I ran journalctl -b-1 after the last freeze. The output is way over my head, but there are some obvious error messages at the end:

journalctl -b-1

Is there any useful information there? What else can I do to diagnose the problem?

Unfortunately

jun 10 09:24:01 acme7 kernel: pci 0000:01:00.0: [10de:10c3] type 00 class 0x030000

is a GT218, so the binary nvidia driver is rather not an option to test

Is the LTS kernel affected?

Also

pacman -Qs nouveau

and in doubt remove xf86-video-nouveau

Re: random freezes

Thanks for your prompt and helpful reply.

I'm not sure if I should conclude that the problem is the (extremely old) video card or the drivers, or both.

I don't have xf86-video-nouveau installed, perhaps I should try it?

For now, I installed the LTS kernel and I am using it right now. Let's see if it survives the day without freezes.
