Sony VAIO hibernates itself

Hi all, I have a Sony VAIO Intel based laptop and I've been running Arch with KDE on it for about 6 months now. At first I updated it at least once a week and never had a problem with it, but recently I've been busy with work and the wife and kids and hadn't updated in about a month. So last Saturday I decided to update. After it finished i shut it down because I had to leave, when I got home I turned it on and when it got to the log in I would start typing my log in and it would shut itself off. But it doesn't turn off it more like hibernates itself. After spending about 3 days of messing with it and searching here for solution and finding nothing I decided to do a fresh install. So after the fresh install and a reboot I go to start installing xorg and the same thing happens. So I tried a different distro to see if it was a hardware problem, keep in mind that I could not check logs or anything... I couldn't even get logged in. So I tried Fedora. I installed it and everything works fine. No problems. So that kinda rules out hardware. So then I tried another distro based on Arch... Antergos. That install went well, reboot, log in, and I have about 3 seconds before it goes down. Same as Arch. It goes down I hit a key on the key pad, it come up to the log in screen, I start to type my passwd, it goes down, I hit a key, finish logging in I get about 3 seconds. I did this about 50 time. I can't run journalctl because I don't have enough time before it goes down. So any ideas, anyone else having this problem? Would this be a kernel problem?

Try booting from a Fedora install disk, get to a console, and chroot into your system.  Then check your logs.

Re: Sony VAIO hibernates itself

So I booted from a arch install disk.. chroot into my system and check journalctl. Took pics and put the link below It continues the same thing over and over. Suspends, I hit a key it wakes up, a few seconds later it suspends again.
