[Solved] Can't install KDE Plasma

Couple of (about 2) months ago I had to fresh install arch but after installing plasma, arch would crash on startup not even getting to logging screen.
I did a fresh install, installed grub, networkmanager, devel-base, nano etc. Reboot my pc just to make sure everything worked (it did).
Then used:
pacman -S xorg plasma plasma-wayland-session kde-applications
systemctl enable sddm.service
reboot
and get on startup on crash. Have tried to install a couple of times in the last past months but always had the exact same result.
The screen that crashes is the one that says "Starting version 250.5-1-arch" right before login screen. Horizontal multi coloured lines appear and stays like that till I reboot it. can even access no gui mode gotta use usb to mount and arch-root into system to access arch.
