I have encountered a problem with Fedora 42. Sometimes it freezes without any apparent reason. I previously faced a similar issue in Fedora 40 and 41, but it happened quite rarely, and I didn’t pay much attention to it. However, now the freezes are occurring much more frequently, and it’s starting to worry me.
I have an ASUS TUF Gaming laptop and a second monitor (Philips Consumer Electronics Company 22). On the second monitor, I display NVIDIA Settings and use the terminal to run radeontop to monitor the load on the graphics cards.
The problem manifests in two ways:
Rare freezes: Sometimes the system starts to operate with significant delays, as if the speed drops to 5 FPS or even lower.
Frequent freezes: The main laptop monitor freezes, but I can still perform some actions on the second monitor, such as turning off radeontop or entering commands (I mostly use sudo reboot). However, if I start moving windows or entering several commands on the second monitor, it eventually freezes as well.
Interestingly, during a system freeze, the second monitor may continue to work for some time. The NVIDIA and RADEON graphs are not loaded and function stably. There have been cases where the second monitor froze while the main one remained active. In such situations, rebooting the system did not help, but switching the HDMI connection resolved the issue.
I have not had similar problems before. I suspect that this may be related to hybrid graphics or the fact that I am using a built-in monitor with a refresh rate of 144 Hz and a Philips monitor with a refresh rate of 60 Hz, but I’m not sure. I do not understand what exactly is causing this problem and how to resolve it.
Is there anything in the journal that could assist in diagnosing the issue?
Would get the journal for the last 5 minutes. journalctl -b --no-pager --since=-5m
or you could open a terminal and run: journalctl -f
and see what you observe when the issue occurs.
At the moment I can work with the system normally, and a simple reboot helps, but the freezes still continue. This can happen at any time, the system can freeze twice a day or not at all.
Here is the output of the command journalctl -f:

While I was writing you a reply, my system froze again.
Here is the new output of the command journalctl -f:
Okay, this is too much. My system has frozen again - this is the third time today. I can’t work normally because I don’t know when it will happen again. If I were doing some important work, I wouldn’t be able to save it.
