I recently decided to update my system as Discovery keeps saying that there are updates available, after that it asked me to restart my computer(as a new kernel version was installed) and from that point on I started having a few issues, upower service randomly stops working and I need to restart it manually which solves the problem for a while and them the system just crashes, also 2 services refuse to work after the upgrade for some unknown reason.
I'm going to attach the logs I know where to get and some system info as well as the packages Discovery upgraded before the issues started to appear.

I noticed that this 7.1 versions upgraded the AppleSMC driver not sure if it is related, but on the logs I see a few issues related to AppleSMC.
Reverting back to the older kernel can solve this or the upgrade is not related to these issues?
