[SOLVED] System is not booting after setting up desktop environment

Yesterday I managed to install arch, dual booting with windows (games) on my new PC.

Today, I logged normally, installed and enabled KDE desktop environment. After few tweaks up, I decided to reboot machine to check if everything stays ok.
What I've got is:

[0.770001] ACPI Error: Needed [Integer/String/Buffer], found [Region] ffff95
c54e151ab0 (20170531/exresop-424)
[0.770001] ACPI Exception: AE_AML_OPERAND_TYPE, Could not execute arguments
for [IOB2] (Region) (20170531/nsinit-412)
starting version 235
/dev/mapper/lvm-root: clean, 249202/2621440 files, 2326174/10485760 blocks
[5.484000] sp5100_tco: I/O address 0x0cd6 already in use
[5.617258] amdgpu 0000:28:00.0: Invalid PCI ROM header signature: expecting
0xaa55, got 0xffff

And it stays like that, not booting. Windows on the other hand, boots.
My hardware:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600, Motherboard: Asus x370 PRO (bios 1001), GPU: AMD RX 580.

I think I still can use my USB stick with arch, and use arch-chroot to login on system, but what then?
I am not sure what may went wrong, I did only simple xorg/KDE setup.

Look at your journal: it should tell you exactly where things fell apart.

But how do I do that?

Using the live media you can either chroot in and check the journal see if anything is logged from the apparently failing boots
or setup the chroot mount points then use `journalctl --root=/mnt`
edit:
changed journcalct l to journalctl

Do you have windows fastboot enabled?

Sorry for the late reply.

@seth
I don't know actually, I am not good with Windows, just playing games here. I will check I assume I should disable if enabled?

What helped me to start using arch was to completely remove KDE (didn't like it at first anyway and latte dock seemed to be buggy) and install/use XFCE. The greeter is not pretty (just black screen with window to type password in) but it works.
