Solution 1

When your system crashes, you might still be able to go into a TTY.

 

CTRL + ALT  + F2, F3, F4, F5 and F6

Virtualbox : RIGHT-CTRL +F2, F3, F4, F5 and F6

TTY = TeleTYpewriter

Then retrace your steps. 

Did you install something wrong?
Did you change the config?
Do you need to update or downgrade?

Use the alias rip to see what you installed last.

Solution 2

Use the power of arch-chroot.
