Input/Output Error with no particular pattern of happening

Hello Everyone! I m newbie! So please correct me if i m wrong to post it here.
So for a long time! i have had this issue. Randomly when i m doing work on my laptop, it suddenly breaks and all functions cease to work and if i try using any terminal to run a  command like `ls` it returns Input/Output Error! and at last there is only a blinking cursor on the screen and a blinking caps lock key on laptop keyboard and i have to restart to fix my laptop! And after restart it gets fixed!

My Specs:

OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Installed Date: 24 March
Updates Done : yes
Memory : 8 GB
Storage  : 512 GB M.2 Nvme SSD
Laptop : Honor Magicbook x14 ( AMD Version )
Processor : AMD Ryzen 5 5500U

This is the output of journalctl -b -1

Below are the images when error occured

Since it is a local SSD, it strongly suggests disk errors. Check your disk for errors.

Paste expired or not found. Create your own Context here.

Drive errors will not be revealed by a filesystem check (your filesystem will likely corrupt because of the unclean device removal)
The common problem w/ nvme's is APST, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Solid_ … leshooting

Re: Input/Output Error with no particular pattern of happening

The journal doesn'rt seem to cover any IO errors, but next to the forementioned APST

Jun 11 10:02:31 homeServer kernel: block nvme0n1: No UUID available providing old NGUID

and

Jun 11 10:02:27 homeServer ntfs-3g[475]: Mounted /dev/nvme0n1p2 (Read-Write, label "", NTFS 3.1)

3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

Also there ~100 chrome crashes and coredumps withing 2h what will likely cause a lot of IO  - I'd maybe switch to a different browser (the coredumps are alll somewhere in the chrome private area, I guess this isn't covered by debuginfod)
