Dell XPS 15 9570 - BIOS update 1.3.0 broke my Arch install

Before the BIOS update I only had problems with my fans and the GPU. Now I can't even boot Arch properly - I get some weird ACPI errors, SDDM crashes without any apparent reason and when I boot my laptop up I get stuck on "Started TLP system startup/shutdown". I can use the TTY console, however netctl doesn't work - it also crashes. This prevents me from changing the login manager and overall from installing/updating software. I've also installed the 1.3.1 BIOS update hoping that it would help but nope - I've got the same problem. I've updated my BIOS using Windows 10 (I have a dual boot setup). I've updated it hoping that it'd fix the fans (they were almost constatly on and they were switching on/off very frequently, unlike in Windows when they weren't used at all when I wasn't doing anything on my PC). I use the proprietary NVIDIA driver and Bumblebee.

journalctl -xe logs:

Sorry for taking pics from my phone, but I couldn't really do anything else.
