Automatic reboot every few hours

Issues & Assistance
1

After the latest update, my system keeps restarting abruptly (like sysrq reboot) every couple of hours.

No idea what is going on. Even the lts kernel has the same issue.

Additional Info:

Before the system reboots, it goes frozen for 30 seconds or so. If I am playing music, the same sound repeats every second in a loop.

Further History:

I had installed the Garuda originally on my Xeon workstation. My workstation crashed due to some power issues. I then used the same hdd in my intel core i7 desktop. It was working fine for a couple of weeks when I updated the system. I noticed the problem the next day morning when it had rebooted automatically. Ever since, it reboots one a few hours (sometimes after just an hour).

Have btop open and see what your pc is doing when it fails
Is it memory or over heating?

What about a different kernel? Also try running the following commands after it rebooted

# General log
journalctl -xb -1 | tail -n 100

# Kernel log
journalctl -xkb -1 | tail -n 100

What are the outputs of these?

It says :

journalctl -xkb -1 | tail -n 100
Specifying boot ID or boot offset has no effect, no persistent journal was found.

hm. You for some reason have no persistant journal; I have never seen that before...

Please try to enable it

It uses at most 3-4 GB anytime. I have 16GB ram. Temp mostly between 39-41 C. It has not rebooted yet after last reply. Only processes I am running are Terminal, Latex, Firefox and Okular.

I enabled it and rebooted once. After that there has not been any reboot for 10 hours now. So I cannot see the log when the issue happens yet. If It happens again, I will post it.

Thank you very much for your kind replies.

I have not experienced reboot after that. I wonder if it has anything to do with me transferring graphics card from my old PC in which I installed Garuda, to this one. In fact it is after that, the problem seems to have disappeared.
