GPU Hang - Desktop freezes in Kwin + Wayland + Intel GPU

I'm running Arch Linux + Linux 6.8.1-arch1-1 + KDE Plasma + Wayland. Basically my desktop completely freezes for about 5~10 seconds with 0 responses from my mouse or keyboard.

The GPU crash dump shows me this error

When I run "journalctl" command I can see this:
