Description:

My system seems to fully freeze sometimes with Kernel 5.11.10.arch1-1, not responding to anything except a forced reboot.

It also froze once why my tty-based screen locker was up, which let me see some kernel log messages (crash1.jpg). I suspect the fault listed there is either unrelated or triggered by earlier corruption somewhere. While waiting for the system to respond or resort to forcing a reboot, I noticed the tty graphics became glitchy/corrupted (crash2.jpg).

Additional info:
* package version(s): linux-5.11.10.arch1-1
* config and/or log files: (screen photo, though I suspect the fault is unrelated)
* device info: Lenovo V330 Laptop with Intel i3-8130U

Steps to reproduce:

The system freeze happened twice today during normal use, and once while locked (see photos). I haven't been able to reproduce it on purpose yet.

Does your system pass memtest?

I have performed a memtest yesterday evening that passed without errors, so that does not seem to be the problem (4 passes of memtest, no errors).
Since I can't seem to be able to reproduce this on purpose (it hasn't happened since the report, though I did not use my system a lot since then) and 5.11.11 is already out, I will update to that and see if it reoccurs.
If nothing happens in the next week I suspect it to have been a random unreproducible bug or fixed in 5.11.11.
