I am using external mouse and keyboard which also stops working. I'm typing this message with the same laptop, I don't know when it will freeze again,, pls tell me how to fix this !!
Personal advise
Don't use your laptop on surfaces like on your bed, where it gets heated.
Heating laptop 
actually freezes it

noo It's not getting heated,, my laptop is placed on a laptop stand which don't block the battery side of the laptop,, I mean,, everything is cool is doesn't get heated
First of all, I'd try to restore the last working snapshot (if this started today, or at a point in time you can remember).
Then, I'd try to see how it goes with some other kernels.

Try also to retrieve (e.g. via pacman log) what was updated.
Maybe you could spot the "guilty" one and block it from updates for a while...

If you think it might be overheating open a terminal and type "sensors" you mite see if your temps are spiking.

Personally I think you'll still want to track down the culprit. Since a rollback seems to have solved your issue it looks to be software related. Myself I'd all ow the updates again and before applying them copy and save all the terminal text. Do the updates and see if the problem reoccurs or not. A lot of the time the issue won't reoccur, but if it does you at least have a list of what was updated in text you saved so there is more info to work with. I'd also still post my inxi -Fza just in case.

I think somethings is happening!! I restored the snapshot which was taken before the update, now when I type pacman -Syu to update, it says :
Synchronizing package databases…
core is up to date
extra is up to date
community is up to date
multilib is up to date
chaotic-aur is up to date
blackarch is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade…
there is nothing to do
how ?
Did you follow the procedure?
- Pick snapshot from GRUB
- Restore that same snapshot from Timeshift
- Reboot
- Update again?
