I used the journal -b command, and at the bottom I see this:

    Going by the log, I assume Aelita Kernel is a custom kernel relabeled. The second line should be troubleshooted (researched) why it failed to disable DPM (since the kernel wants it disable for some reason). I am not saying it should be disabled, just research to find out more information of what it means, etc.

    Start from there and you’ll progress the troubleshoot.

    i have kinda the same problem, just with only one game so far. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1658040/I_Am_Future_Cozy_Apocalypse_Survival/ Normally when I shutdown/reboot I have a black screen with only one line. When I start this game, even if it’s only 30 seconds, there are more lines. so that is how i see, that my PC WAS a ticking time bomb. after a reboot it is gone and 1 line again. BUT it also can happen, that my PC just crashes, before i reboot/shutbown. it can happen right after, or hours later. when i play games, surfing internet, or just watch a movie. i do not know what causes it finally. i installed and launched like 30 games. native and proton. few 100MB to STARFIELD. everything works like it should! starfield is so bad optimized, it tortures every PC, but i can play it for hours, tab out open up some other programs to push my RAM to more than 20GB. nothing. it runs stable. but as soon as i start this one game again my PC is a time bomb again. anyways. since it is just this one game i dont give a F! i wait til manjaro releases some updates and then i give it another try
