I faced constant system freezing in Ubuntu under both Unity and Gnome shell. So I came to Arch. In Arch also I'm facing the same issue. I tried many things in these forums but nothing helped. Please help me. The system hangs constantly and the mouse barely moves. When I press ctrl+alt+F2 it takes several minutes to go to the terminal and then I can reboot. Please help. Here's the output of dmesg :

Note: Before marking this as duplicate please note that I already know how to unfreeze the system after it freezes (Last time I posted a question like this you marked it as duplicate and redirected to a post which tells how to press ctrl+alt+F2. I know how to do that. )
What I need to know is how to prevent the freezing before it freeze and why is it freezing?
I would start with checking up these:
