Computer freezes every 2 days or so, and I have to manually shut it down via the power button
I am using Arch + XFCE (Manjaro). All worked fine with Gnome, same kernel and drivers. Now ever 2 days or so I wake up and my computer is frozen. I use my laptop 24/7, so it is always on. The strange thing is that if I listen to music, for example, the music keeps on playing, so I suppose processes are running in the background. But I cannot move the cursor, I cannot get into TTY. I have to shut it down from the power button.
Since I use my laptop nonstop, doing backups, maintaining servers, working on big projects, this is the worse error I can get into. It can easily destroy my work.
I searched online but can't seem to find a cause for it.
