Gnome 3 restarts after system update or package installation

I've had an issue with gnome 3 for a while now, it seems like gnome 3 restarts itself after a system update via "pacman -Syu" or a package installation. During this time, both of my monitors will turn black for a second or two, and my primary monitor will reset to a refresh rate of 60Hz when it's maximum is 144Hz. I Realize the refresh rate issue is most likely due to an incorrectly configured xorg.conf, but it still bothers me that my monitors turn black for a few seconds. Anyone know what the issue could be? I've been searching the web for a solution for a month or so without finding anyone with a problem even remotely similar to mine. I should also make it clear that this does not occur on every system update or package installation, only certain ones.

When crazy shit happens, check your logs. Post them here. You can't expect help from others if you don't provide all the info.

Why does everyone need to be asked to provide logs? Why don't they just post the relevant logs in the initial post?

Most of my posts recently have been asking people to post logs. I am this close to banning people asking for help without posting the relevant info/logs

Regarding your rant, I wasn't sure where relevant logs were saved. If I had, I would've posted them.

Xorg.0.log - http://pastebin.com/mwpcchVQ

:0.log from /var/log/gdm - http://pastebin.com/p8duy8qe

Thanks for the help in advance.

Your gdm log seems to be removed.
