On hyprland system freezing randomly after some time

Hello,

My system is randomly freezing after sometime with hyprland open. Normally takes about 5 minutes but I cannot pinpoint what makes the system hangs.

When it freezes I loose all my keyboard and mouse input, so I cannot switch to another tty but ssh is still working although slow.

When the system hangs I see some drm related messages on my dmesg. I also have KDE Plasma and on Plasma my system doesn't show those behaviours in both X11 or Wayland.

I've tried rebooting sddm with systemd but the system kept frozen. In order to restore my system I have to do a hard reset on the case (didn't try reboot trough ssh though).

My system is:
Arch Linux
Kernel 6.6.35-2-lts but also hangs on zen
AMD Ryzen 5950X, 64GB of DDR4 RAM
Asus B550 ProArt Creator (latest BIOS)
Sapphire Pulse RX 7900 XTX (not nvidia hahaha)

Before I realized it was only happening on hyprland I've suspected hardware, so I've changed all the hardware (i have another box) except the GPU and the OS SSD and the hang continued. I've also put an Asrock RX 7700 XT but this one instead of freezing it just rebooted the entire machine. This card also works fine on Plasma for some reason.

https://pastebin.com/eHw6HAF3 - This is the dmesg right after the computer freezes, before that theres just the default boot messages.
