I'd rather not because this is the laptop I use for work, not my personal 
laptop so I'd rather not mess with it too much ;)

If there's no other option, I can try, but it'll have to be in another free 
partition I've got and I'd have to reinstall everything. I prefer this and see 
if a fresh install fixes things. Maybe try a 32 bit Arch, the one I'm having 
issues is a 64 bit Arch.
