[Solved] Random freezes, keyboard lockups

Question

There doesn't appear to be anything to explain this in the logs, but Arch tends to randomly freeze, sometimes a kernel panic sometimes not, either way it forces a restart.
There are also times where the keyboard becomes inoperable and using halt won't work, a hard reset is required.
So yeah, I have no idea where to start. I posted this in another forum but perhaps I will get better responses here.
I am running Arch64 on an xps m1330 with an nvidia 8400m, running gnome with compiz-fusion-git.

Answer 1

For me it's a problem with the newest kernels and possibly the power cooling or some other motherboard fault. I have to run different distros if I want to go into x these days ..
Check if it's similar to these problems:
