Looking at the Arch Wiki there are a few suggestions. I'll link you directly to the page that will hopefully help.

If you installed the drivers from within Calamares, you could try reinstalling them in this order:

pacman -S nvidia nvidia-utils

Then reload the driver:

modprobe nvidia

Here's the page in question:

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

i did the updates again
(sudo reflect sudo reflectuk sudo pacupd sudo pacupg)

Next, I install Nvidia drivers.

After reboot, it works now

Thank you
