guys, dmesg contains no error.

so we need log from /var/log/messages.log (here should be previous dmesgs inclusive crash). please share it in via paste.artixlinux.org. maybe we will found a problem inside this file

I didn't know about it till now :D . Anyway I'm assuming it'll start writing messages in the /var/log directory as I just got it using pacman. I don't have an error.log either. I enabled the service now. It should start printing the errors hopefully :)

Yeah I guess I am. Sometimes during pacman but thats just simultaneously running with some video. So how do I fix it? Btw when it happens during pacman, Its prints something like "kernel panic" so I thought it was kernel related.

Yeah, without logs with exactly errors I can only guess.. mesa/drm/kernel... But it's upstream bug. Nothing what we can in artix fix  :'( you can report it in upstream, if you will save log with exactly errors

strajder, why you still use 5.9.10 ? upgrade your kernel or downgrade or use lts-version, but not use 5.9.10  :D  :D

5.9.12 is now in extra, update your computer. If that not help, please try use older nvidia driver https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/nvidia-440xx-dkms/

Hey @alium , Apparently my hard disk is dying. That was my brother's old laptop and he told me it used to crash in Windows as well. But there must've been a kernel problem as well at the time op posted this. Kind of a coincidence I guess. Now I need to change the HDD or maybe buy a new laptop as its 9 years old. Thanks for your support.

Hello. The hard disk is dying but that's not why it was crashing. I'm using the BCM4313 wireless card and the kernel module for this card has some bugs. People on archlinux would solve this by installing the
Code: [Select]
broadcom-wl
package. But its not working on artix and I'm suspecting openrc. That's why youo couldn't find anything in dmesg.

When I installed broadcom-wl, the other broadcom modules were blacklisted and when I rebooted, my wifi card couldn't be detected. How do I fix this on Artix?

Thanks
