After doing this I read this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195866&p=2 and tried a lot of the options there. I tried installing the kernel microcode (seems to have worked, but hasn't fixed anything for me), switching from nvidia to nouveau. Tried installing different display manager (lightdm rather than gdm) and tried disabling everything and doing startx.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to debug this?

Sorry, I should have mentioned, only errors in my Xorg.0.log is:
(EE) Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0)
...
(EE) Failed to load module "fbdev" (module does not exist, 0)
...
(EE) Failed to load module "vesa" (module does not exist, 0)
...
(EE) Failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist, 0)
Ahhh! found it, for posterity here is the solution, I had something in journalctl -b
/usr/lib/gonme-session/gnome-session-failed: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgdk-3.so.0: undefined symbol: cairo_surface_set_device_scale
...
<crashing gnome-shell>
which led me to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=188529.
after checking pacman -Qs cairo I found that I had cairo-infinality-ultimate. when I removed that and installed normal cairo everything was fine.
Thanks
