Maybe you can try the following kernel parameters in the default grub command line and the run the update grub command.
processor.max_cstate=5 rcu_nocbs=0-11
Hmm that didnāt seem to work, thanks anyways though.
Funny enough I loaded up Spotify and played a song and 2 seconds later I got a freeze.
journalctl -r

Iām thinking it probably has something to do with my headphone jack maybe because I had plugged in headphones just as I booted up Spotify.
lspci -vv -t | grep 08.1
could be your hardware not properly working or a kernel regression causing it to fail to load properlyā¦

Maybe I didnāt install the AMD drivers correctly but Iām pretty sure I did.
I guess I should also provide more context to the freezes because usually after freezing Iām still able to move my mouse around but none of the keyboard inputs work and the windows seem to be frozen as well.

I would try and test another kernel parameter
processor.max_cstate=1
Unfortunately that didnāt work, journalctl didnāt provide anything useful either around the crash time.
Have you checked sudo dmesg | eos-sendlog
Post the link.

After crashing a bunch of times I have a suspicion that it might just be the system stopping a lot of services when the memory or cpu usage is too high or something. Just a guess because honestly these crashes are just happening randomly now so I donāt think theyāre tied to a specific application at least.
Iām more and more starting to believe that high memory/cpu usage is the cause of crashing because Iāve crashed 4 times in the past hour from just running a Nextjs dev server although I have crashed before from other applications. Does arch have a way of automatically stopping processes if they are taking too much resources?
If these kernel parameters didnāt help you should remove them and update grub.
processor.max_cstate=1 rcu_nocbs=0-11
Maybe remove those other kernel parameters and add these and update grub to test them.
iommu=soft idle=nomwait
Still got a freeze 
Itās weird because of how random they are.
I donāt know what is causing the freezing. There are many kernel parameters for hardware. Iām guessing and the only way is to test them. Is it possible to run journactl something like this when you get a freeze.
sudo journalctl --since ā15 minutes agoā
i would do a memory (RAM) test alsoā¦ may Bios/Firmware offer something like that?
