Hi! My system has been working great for the past year and a half, but I do have a pretty major issue. From time to time when I try to shut my system down, my monitors will simply display no output, but the PC itself will stay on. When this happens, no input can shut down the PC or exit the weird state it's in, and the only thing I can do is hold down the power button to force it to shut down. This can typically be avoided when I manually call poweroff in a terminal, but when another program, such as rofi, calls poweroff, it often occurs. The weird thing is that this is actually the main reason I switched from windows to linux, as my windows install was having this issue. Arch didn't have the issue for some time, then suddenly started having it. I have been through two different motherboards during this installation so I doubt it's a hardware issue.
Additionally, suspend often leaves my PC in a similar state, and very recently suspend has simply stopped doing anything when I type it manually into a terminal, simply returning without actually suspending the system.
I am using Hyprland, an NVidia GPU (with the relevant fixes applied as per the Hyprland wiki) using proprietary drivers, Systemd and Grub with the default kernel, if there is any information I can provide please let me know. I've searched extensively both here and on google about this issue, and none of the fixes that worked for other people have worked for me yet.

Take "quiet" off your kernel boot parameter and see if you can catch which service is failing to stop, or some other message is thrown to the screen. Make sure your journal is persistent between boots and after a failure, reboot and check the journal from that failed log. Post back errors here if you have trouble interpreting them.

Quiet is disabled and has been, when the false-shutdown occurs I see regular output then the screens go dark and the system becomes unresponsive. I have just tried to suspend with no results, here is the sudo journalctl output immediately after doing so. https://pastebin.com/qeWY1SJu. It seems like poweroff is working correctly for the moment, but I fear it will return at any time. Windows is still unable to restart or shutdown the PC (though this isn't a windows support forum)
