random crashing sway wm

Hello, i recently install arch linux on my ASUS Vivobook, but it keeps crashing every few boots. WM: Sway 1:1.8.1-1, Kernel: Linux-zen 6.4.2

This has happened only recently, after i switch from KDE Plasma to sway

I have looked at journalctl, here is link to full: http://0x0.st/H16N.txt

Please help??

Re: random crashing sway wm

What is it doing?  Describe what happens when it crashes?
Does Sway crash only after you have run Plasma?  Or does it not crash whether or not you have run Plasma first?

That journal log really only shows from boot to 1 minute after boot - does it crash that quickly?  Specifically, the journal shows up to a minute after boot at which point firefox starts and rtkit kicks in with a bit of activity and the log ends.  Is this journal log even from a session that crashed - or did you just generate this journal right after a sucessful boot up?

Here is journalctl from crash: https://pastebin.com/rhPG0AHK

Re: random crashing sway wm

Okay.  Recently, I had a nagging problem in Sway if I ran it after I had run a plasma session.  I was wondering if the same think was happening to you; apparently not.

How do you start Sway?  When it crashes, does it hang?  Does it exit to the console or display manager (depending on how you start it)?

-I start through lightdm and lightdm gtk greeter

-When it crashes it hangs no mouse input, no keyboard input, screen freezes, nothing

Re: random crashing sway wm

Can you switch to another console using CTRL-ALT-F2 (or F3 through F6) after a freeze? 
Are the LEDs on the keyboard blinking when it freezes?

As i mentioned, no keyboard input, so cant switch to another console, LEDs arent blinking but they are still on
