Hi, i’m new to manjaro, I’m currently getting an error that I’ve no clue how to fix it, I have read many posts that I do not undestand, Manjaro was working correctly but I decided to install my graphic card driver via the “Manjaro settings manager” and I did reboot my system but every time manjaro is booting up I get an error that only says “Failed to start load kernel modules” it doing nothing and my pc is stuck into a black screen. I would really appreciate if you take time to help me, Thank you.

Damn, you are one fast reader. 
Anyhow, I think there are multiple topics about “unable to load kernel modules” lately, but I haven’t followed them closely.

boot into manjaro live usb, connect to internet, then chroot:
sudo manjaro-chroot -a
then post output from:
mhwd-kernel -li && mhwd -l && mhwd -li
any people that have the same error doesn’t have the same output, I can’t run any command and in grub commands are not recognized so yeah I don’t know what to do, I spent more than 3 minutes reading solutions, I just created my account after.
ok i’ll try it thanks
The first command is doing an error
sudo manjaro-chroot -a
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1. Check your device.map.
grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1. Check your device.map.

→ mount: [/mnt]
→ mount: [/mnt/boot/efi]
[manjaro /]#
second command
mhwd kernel -li && mhwd -l && mhwd -li

that error is from the usb, so ignore it, you are now chrooted … you enetered it incorrectly… its:
mhwd-kernel -li and not mhwd kernel -li … and use formatting, click this icon in editor: </> and put the ouptut there
mb sorry mhwd-kernel -li && mhwd -l && mhwd -li

install them:
mhwd -i pci video-nvidia
mhwd -i pci video-linux
exit
reboot
