I’ve reflashed my bios, so let’s see what happens.
(Took me 3 attempts to boot to get grub)

Hi guys,
After all these months my laptop froze again.
Would someone look at my log?
I did not have a freeze with the 5.4.x LTS Kernel. How long have you had a freeze with LTS Kernel? For my part, I have experienced this freeze on both laptops and desktops with 5.6.x Kernels. Returning to the LTS Kernel, there has been no freezing so far. This may also have something to do with the case. https://linuxreviews.org/Linux_Kernel_5.5_Will_Not_Fix_The_Frequent_Intel_GPU_Hangs_In_Recent_Kernels
I did not have a freeze for a couple of months, I’m using the LTS kernel since then.
There is a very important issue following to Lemon’s problem.
I will dig into the Kernel and find a way out of it.
Can’t promise to find a solution, yet. It will take a few DaYs.
Thank you again for the amazing effort.

I had forgotten which CPU you have but i do see your parameters here.
rw quiet intel_idle.max_cstate=1 resume=UUID=31fc204a-f877-4128-b63f-ac70b0d5312e loglevel=3
Some solutions may work here under troubleshooting and xorg config as @zoli62 has posted.

You may want to try adding enable_dc=0 and or consoleblank=0 and acpi=force
I would experiment adding one at a time and or combination of and then all
You may not need both intel_idle.max_cstate=1 and enable_dc=0
First one limits sleep states and second one disable GPU power management and consoleblank=0 stops display from blanking. acpi=force to force power management parameters.
I’m not sure i can’t remember if yours is using the modestting or xorg but i think it was modesetting?
Looks like is Braswell chip.
There was a Mesa update recently also so you can see if you have it. You could always drop back to previous version.
Current version
[ricklinux@eos-cinnamon ~]$ pacman -Q mesa
mesa 20.0.7-2
[ricklinux@eos-cinnamon ~]
There was also recently a whole slew of xorg related updates too numerous know.

The lock happened after the update from yesterday.
The mesa version is the same as yours: 20.0.7-2.
I did not have a frozen screen today.
I’m not sure if it is a specific Eos problem, I have had this with Manjaro too.
Now see what to try first… 
And another lockup today.
This is my journal: http://ix.io/2mUG
I’ve downgraded mesa, let’s see what will happen.
Which version of Mesa as the current version fixed the previous from black screen and possibly freeze? I think the version before was 20.0.7-1 that was a problem? Not sure on the exact version number.
Edit: Yes that was problem version for some. The previous version before it was 20.0.6-2
I’ve downgraded to 20.0.6
A new version of Mesa 20.0.7-3 just came out.
And a new kernel too.
He’s running the lts kernel but I still would try both. 
What’s weird is i just tried to update Plasma and i don’t have any updates?
Refresh your mirrors? I have half a gig of updates since yesterday.
I did and nothing.

Only in Canada Eh!
Isn’t the mirrors in Germany updating first? It seems like they are always first.
But Arch is originally from Canada isn’t it? 
Or?
So you upgraded this morning and forgot about it?
