Hello.
Laptop: Dell Latitude 5591, version with integrated graphics only (intel 630)
System worked fine in the past, but was not updated for 2+ years. Yesterday I did a full update, after which system started to freeze some time after boot.
It seems like it gets semi-unresponsive before reaching hard freeze state. For example, you can type command in terminal (like vim), and wait forever, sometimes you can Ctrl-C out of it, but in like 30 seconds or so after getting semi-unresponsive system will reach a hard freeze state: no longer responding to any input, doesn't answer pings, etc; only hard power reset helps. Sometimes it happens quite fast so you don't have time to even login, sometimes a bit later.
I booted an old arch iso that I had nearby (archlinux-2023.06.01-x86_64.iso) to try and run some diagnostics, to no avail.
Then I wanted to to update BIOS with fwupdmgr, but couldn't do it with old iso without updating (or I thought so), so I burned the newest one (archlinux-2025.11.01-x86_64.iso).
And now I have the same hard freeze problem with arch iso as I have with my own system, it also makes the system hard freeze very quickly after boot.
Somewhat of a relief, but not quite. Then I read somewhere that using "nomodeset" kernel parameter can help circumvent the problem, and it does, no freezes happen when loading my system with it, but it doesn't seem like a quality solution.
Also tried to downgrade to lts kernel (6.12.57-1).
