Garuda Dragonized unexpectedly freezes many times a day

Issues & Assistance KDE

Hello Garuda users.
My operating system unexpectedly freezes many times a day.
I suspect that my system is infected and that's why it freezes. How can I check it?
I hope the following information helps you find the cause of the problem:

I also scanned my home directory with ClanTk, it found many possible threats like this one:
Win.Malware.Ulise-9870721-0 Result: Malicious
and many others, most of them where found in my /.wine directory.

Ask me if you need other information to find a solution.

If all of the malware was confined to Wine, I would say you might be able to simply purge Wine from your system (something like rm -rf ~/.Wine && sudo pacman -Rsc wine), but the way you have phrased that sentence makes it sound like it is not.

It is certainly possible to achieve a complicated and elaborate setup in six weeks that would be a nuisance to reconfigure, but if that’s not the case you might spare yourself some grief by just backing up any important files and configurations you have, and do a reinstallation.

Ok I will try to purge it later.

do a reinstallation
If i do reinstallation It would be the umpteenth time that I reinstall Garuda linux.

Could my hardware be the problem causing the freezes and crashes? This is the worst thing I experienced bc it makes me have to restart my computer everytime it happens, it’s a waste of time.

I already uninstalled Wine using Octopi, and then i also deleted the /.wine directory, so the purge ouputs "no target found".

Yes, absolutely it could.

If you are not sure where to begin looking, there is a lengthy troubleshooting resource here: Troubleshooting System Stutter, Lags, Freezes, and Hangs

If you can work though that and update your thread with notes as you go, someone from the community may be able to help you figure out what the problem is.

2020 BIOS. Is there an update for it?

Delete Wine prefix. Then configure magic sysrq
and try it once when system is working. While holding SysRq and Alt, hit in this order R E I S U B. Your PC should reboot. Do this again when a freeze occurs and the upload output of this to PrivateBin:

sudo journalctl -b -1

I ran the same command again, it outputs lines 1-51:

I need the whole journal. You can save the whole journal with this:

sudo journalctl -b -1 --no-pager >> ~/journal.txt

The file will be saved in home folder.
