Hi, this is my first time trying Arch Linux and for the past day I have been trying to resolve this issue when starting GNOME.
I have an intel core 17- 4790 and a nVidia GTX 780. I have installed all the drivers for the nVidia card from the their website and I have run the script. Xorg works perfectly and I don't know why this isn't working
Here is log file from /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Hi, this is my first time trying Arch Linux and for the past day I have been trying to resolve this issue when starting GNOME.
I have an intel core 17- 4790 and a nVidia GTX 780. I have installed all the drivers for the nVidia card from the their website and I have run the script.!
Why? The drivers are in the repository, it is recoomended to install it through pacman, no need to go to nVidia website and run scripts.

I second forumache's point. You shouldn't install anything directly from source. First check the official repositories, then the AUR. Only if both of those fail to provide what you need would you then start hunting down sources from websites. But even then, you would package the source, not install it directly from a script. If you don't know what packages you are looking for then don't forget to consult the wiki.
Anyway. I quickly skimmed through the log and spotted this:
[ 866.828] (II) NVIDIA(0): ACPI: failed to connect to the ACPI event daemon; the daemon
[ 866.828] (II) NVIDIA(0): may not be running or the "AcpidSocketPath" X
[ 866.828] (II) NVIDIA(0): configuration option may not be set correctly. When the
[ 866.828] (II) NVIDIA(0): ACPI event daemon is available, the NVIDIA X driver will
[ 866.828] (II) NVIDIA(0): try to use it to receive ACPI event notifications. For
[ 866.828] (II) NVIDIA(0): details, please see the "ConnectToAcpid" and
[ 866.828] (II) NVIDIA(0): "AcpidSocketPath" X configuration options in Appendix B: X
[ 866.828] (II) NVIDIA(0): Config Options in the README.You can fix that with https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … wer_source
I have no idea whether that is what is causing your problem, I'm not an NVIDIA user myself, but it's a start.

I reinstalled arch and everything and downloaded the drivers from pacman. the issues still persist.

I installed acpid from pacman and started it but it didn't change a thing.

Ok. Another thing occurred to me. Are you using GDM to start GNOME? I ask because I just remembered that as of v3.16, GDM forwards the logs to the journal. Therefore, if GDM is in play, you would actually need to run something like
# journalctl -b /usr/bin/Xorg
to get up to date Xorg logs.

I am planning to use GDM but I am just going through the ~/.xinitrc file and the command startx. I tried loading chromium through that too and it came out with the same error in the logs.

Fair enough. One last thing and then I think I'm out of ideas. I saw a similar thread here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=195880
One suggestion in there was that a peripheral device was causing GNOME Settings Daemon to crash and hence leading to session failure. How about removing all peripheral devices and then trying to start GNOME?
Edit: I re-read your post and saw the Chromium point. That would suggest it's not a GNOME issue.

I just pulled everything out except keyboard and it still errors. Thanks though for helping!

I have an intel core 17- 4790 ...
That's a Haswell processor. Is your microcode up to date?

How would I do that, I'm new to arch...
EDIT: Silly me, need to look in the wiki more often...

I was having the same problem and this solved it. Thanks.
Here is the link to the wiki which has the instructions on how to update the microcode in case anyone else is having the same problem.
Just one question, the wiki doesn't make this clear, is this update a one time thing, or I have to leave the intel-ucode.img in the bootloader forever?

You have to leave it there unless you can flash your UEFI firmware with a new enough one that it has the newer microcode. Even then, it doesn't hurt to keep it since you'll probably get other fixes before they become available in a firmware update.
