Details

Description:
Started observing this about a few months ago. I can't say exactly if this is related to system upgrade or to hardware upgrade that I performed. Have no idea how can I debug this.

Additional info:
Sometimes (not always) my suspend/poweroff attempts end on a black screen. In this case I have to do hard poweroff/reset and already lost some data because of that and one time even had to bot from a live CD and repair the system.

Steps to reproduce:
Very simple, this is happening like 1-3 times per week. I simply boot as usual, work the entire day and then need to power off the PC at the end of the day. Sometimes this is successful and sometimes — not. The conditions and running apps are probably the same in both cases.
This task depends upon

Reboot is also affected. I can't use my arch box anymore because of this. 80% of reboot/poweroff attempts freeze and I have to do a hard reset which almost always corrupts my data.

Any updates about this? Can I help to debug this?

I've been facing this the last few weeks. Shutdown through gnome3 menu or systemctl poweroff often result in a hang, but not always. journalctl doesn't show anything unusual.
