Failed units:

My system freezes when I close my laptop lid. I searched the forum for this issue and this is the closest one to my issue, but not what I was looking for.

I ran ‘systemctl suspend’ and my system froze the same as closing the lid to suspend the laptop.

Boot to your UEFI/BIOS settings and check if there are options related to power management in there. A lot of times motherboard manufacturers will ship with power management options that are out of spec or do not work properly on Linux for other reasons.

For example, if you have options related to PCIe ASPM, try disabling it. If you have multiple PCIe ASPM options, start by disabling the native type, and if that doesn’t help disable the platform-based type. These settings may be hidden in an advanced power management settings menu if there is one.

Another easy thing to try would be to test the LTS kernel. If it works normally on the LTS kernel, most likely the behavior you have observed is caused by a kernel regression or similar.

sudo pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers

After you install it, you can boot with the LTS kernel by selecting it in the advanced options in Grub (before you get to the login screen).

LTS kernel fixed it! Thanks!
