XPS 15 9530, freezes on boot most of the time, but not always

I need to try multiple times to be able to boot the laptop. (3-4 times)
It freezes right before GDM is supposed to start, tty do not work either.

I suspect it has something to do with bumblebee, but I do not know.
Everything works once it has booted.

Any suggestions? Any logs I should check out?

What happens when you boot straight into tty?  post your journalctl log and xorg log.  Output of uname -a and what graphics card/driver.  I heard someone talk of a similar issue when discrete card is off resulting in a crash when starting x.  https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bu … issues/764

Booting right to a tty works fine every time it seems.
The output of journalctl is https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/508 … ralctl.txt
It froze the last time during the last 10 minutes of that log file.

uname -a

Linux Fredrik-XPS 4.8.13-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Dec 9 07:24:34 CET 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It has a GTX 750M, and currently running the 'nvidia' driver, along with Intel driver (bumblebee).

The Gnome details app says: Graphics: Wayland. I dont know if I have xorg installed or not. It is a fresh arch install, and I installed extra/gnome along with the graphics drivers and bumblebee.

Not sure at all, but I may have the same issue discussed here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1677715
