Hello. I decided to install Manjaro . The installation is completed and a reboot is underway. The password entry screen is completely normal. After entering the password, a black screen instead of the desktop (the Manjaro assistant is also launched) + incorrect screen resolution (everything is greatly increased). The problem is only with the non-free nvidia driver. With a free driver, everything starts and works well. As soon as I install a non-free driver, reboot, the login screen is normal, but instead of the desktop there is a black screen and the screen resolution is not determined. I’ve tried Garuda linux and EndeavourOS. The problem is the same in Garuda linux as in Manjaro. In endeavors, the non-free driver works well and there are no problems.
P.S: It is also clear during PC boot that something is wrong. The Manjaro logo is greatly enlarged. It can be seen that the system cannot determine the screen resolution.
How are you installing the driver(s)?

General guide for posting, including how to format code, etc:
I choose a proprietary driver when installing Manjaro. Then I reinstalled the system again and selected a free driver and then installed a proprietary driver through the Manjaro program. After restarting, I had a black screen again and the system could not determine the resolution of my screen.

This is a system with a free driver. With a non-free driver, I can’t do anything in the system. I only have a black screen and a very large cursor. Everything is very much enlarged.
Understood, thanks
