xorg start hangs with no error

Hi, so I have a relatively fresh install and Xorg started perfectly fine yesterday however it just wont now.
There is no error on the output nor in the logs, and the system becomes completely unresponsive, cant even switch tty.
I have intel graphics so it's nit about the nvidia driver fuckery some people have.

The last thing in the logs is an info message about the intel drivers and vesa driver being loaded

I cant copy the output as you know it kills the system when I start it...
But there.are 2 lines of outpu:
(==) Log file:.......
(==) Using system config directory ......

Can you ssh into the system?
How do you start X11?
Try to look at the Xorg log after a reboot as well as the previous journal (sudo journalctl -b -1)
