I have been facing this issue since yesterday, but basically at some point the system becomes insanely slow, and the restart and shutdown options disappear from the menu, tty3-7 dont work, it freezes at the shutdown -now command(at which point I just manually cut the power(bad Idea I know)),

but today I stuck around as my system got insanely borked, eventually freezing up and giving me the screen above. the problem shows up after I wake it up from suspend but not always: My system specs:

here are the journalctl entries that I think are relevant

entries for events 40 min before that.

and this is from when it happened earlier in the day

    Hey are you still facing this issue. I also faced this twice on fedora 41 silverblue but it seems to have resolved itself after some updates

    Can you enable SSH, and then try SSH into the box once it hangs?

    Any OOMKiller messages in dmesg/journalctl? Do you have swap space?

    Nothing in the logs jumped out at me, hopefully someone else can help you.

    So, this is a ~15 year old laptop?

    The first two things that immediately come to mind when you’re kernel panicing is bad ram, and bad cpu temperatures.

    Thermal paste doesn’t last forever, and it’s worth checking if your CPU or GPU are overheating, and repasting if so.

    And, as always, a memtest is a quick and easy step to rule that out - I’d say half the “weird crashes” I’ve ever seen ends up being bad ram and well, at least it’s cheap and easy to replace?

      This is not a malfunctioning hardware thing. I faced the same issue for a few days on silverblue, where my 2 year old zen3 laptop would slow down to a crawl and eventually the gnome-shell would freeze. Somehow it resolved itself somewhere between kernel and gnome-shell + mutter updates
