It appears fairly obvious the opensource driver is not ideal for your system.

Perhaps the Nvidia driver is better in this case.

Ensure your system is up-to-date, and check which Nvidia driver is suggested for your system.

mfaridi · 6 January 2026 08:33

I install Nvidia driver and reboot it and I will monitor it I wish this fix problem

nikgnomic · 6 January 2026 09:17

For NVIDIA GK208B [GeForce GT 730] you can install nvidia 470xx legacy driver using Manjaro Settings Manager - Hardware Configuration GUI, or:

mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-470xx

If problem persists, Check the cable connection to monitor and boot system from the Live ISO used to install Manjaro and check if that has a similar issue

mfaridi · 6 January 2026 10:29

I install with this command

nvidia-driver-assistant

I see

sudo mhwd -i pci video-nvidia-470xx

[MiniHowTo] Present code or command output

Note: Grave accent (or, backtick) characters are used.

For inline code or to show a single command:

please follow this simple example: code here.

For multi-line command output:

place text beween two rows of three (```) backtick characters to form a scrollable text box, or …
use the </> button in the Compose window to achieve the same result.

The empty row between these rows of backtick characters is where to paste any multi-line command output (such as inxi).

What is a Quark?

A. In Physics, an elementary particle and fundamental constituent of matter. 
B. A character from the Star Trek: "Deep Space Nine" television series.
C. A soft, creamy, usually unsalted cheese traditional to central Europe.
