So for a quick recap of my problem:
I've dual-booted windows and archlinux on my laptop. I was working on the windows side when my computer froze; I held down the power button to restart my laptop and when it rebooted the first thing I noticed was weird-colored lines running vertically on my bootup screen (green and red). Because of these weird lines I reboot into safe mode, finished what I was working on and then shutdown the laptop to restart it into regular windows. The colored lines stayed at bootup, but I opted to boot regularly anyways. I got to the windows logo load-in screen and then when it finished the screen went black; and stayed black (i left it on overnight, the next morning it was still black with no changes). So I tried booting into my linux partition.
I boot in successfully and it loaded with no problems until I ran "startxfce4". At this point the laptop did the same thing, it booted into a black screen and I was forced to hold the power button to power it down.
I boot into arch successfully again and retrieved all important data from both partitions on a hard drive and then tried to boot into arch using startxfce4 again. This time I got this error messsage (from my xorg.0.log):

I can post more of the log or other logs if needed. Looked up some things on error 11 but it seems it can be a number of things; the majority being about memory. I would also like to note arch was running fine before my windows side crashed; which then caused my arch to have these errors.
