I’ve been using Fedora for more than a year now, but as of the past few weeks, been getting random freezes on my device. For context I am using a laptop, connected to an external monitor, keyboard and mouse.
When it freezes up, the mouse and keyboard don’t work, but I can still move the cursor using the trackpad, but the laptop keyboard doesnt work either. Now I have tried waiting but event after ~30 mins of inactivity the screen doesnt change at all, and then I am forced to power off via long pressing the power key.
I have tried disabling extensions, restarting with an older kernel, logging in with xorg, removed all nvidia drivers (I have mx130, had some drivers installed for this, but this wasnt being used, instead was getting message on boot up that nouveau drivers are being used)
After each of these changes, the freeze would not occur for a few hours, maybe for an entire day, but then again it would start.
Please help, I am a beginner, so unfamiliar on how to debug this, will attach whatever command output screenshots that are required.
am a beginner, and so far in terms of debugging

Welcome to 
!
You can start by providing your hardware info and some journalctl entries.
Please provide the reults of inxi -Fzxx here in preformatted text:
As for the journalctl commands, can you tell us if this happened recently ?
Here is one that would be useful for kernel messages
sudo journalctl -k | fpaste --raw-url

Appreciate the help!
