Hard random freezes (deadlocks) on 13700KF + RX 9070 XT, SysRq unresponsive

System Information:

  • CPU: Intel Core i7-13700KF (No degradation symptoms, latest microcode applied)

  • GPU: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT

  • DE/WM: KDE Plasma (Wayland)

The Issue: I am experiencing random hard system freezes. The system locks up completely — I cannot switch to a TTY, and Magic SysRq (REISUB) is completely unresponsive, forcing me to do a hard reset via the power button.

This happens randomly during regular desktop usage (not just during heavy gaming).

Logs: 660f158

What I’ve tried so far: A full system update (pacman -Syu) didn’t resolve the issue.

Any help on how to debug a freeze that doesn’t leave logs would be appreciated.

One you reboot after a crash, journalctl -b -1 will show you the logs from the previous boot, which might have some more info.

Here, if it helps

I changed the kernel to TLS 6.18, and everything is working fine
