NVIDIA graphics driver install doesn't load, recognize card

I’ve added a RTX 3060 to my system, but have had no luck getting the drivers to recognize the card.

I’ve installed the latest driver version using

mhwd -i pci video-nvidia

After rebooting, I’m greeted with a blank screen with cursor.
Switching to tty and running nvidia-smi returns a message saying “No devices were found”.
Running inxi -G --display produces the following:

Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA GA106 [GeForce RTX 3060 Lite Hash Rate] driver: nvidia 
    v: 515.48.07 
  Display: server: X.Org v: 1.21.1.3 driver: X: loaded: N/A
    unloaded: nvidia gpu: nvidia note: X driver n/a
  Message: No GL data found on this system

I tried repeating this with driver version 470xxx, with identical results. My cpu doens’t have any integrated graphics, so it’s not fighting for the display.

Any ideas on how to “load” the driver, since the card lists it as unloaded right now?
Thanks ahead of time!

if you can open a terminal or a console TTY ( Ctrl + Alt+ Fn )

sudo pacman -Syy
sudo mhwd -a pci free 0300 
sudo mhwd -a pci nonfree 0300

reboot

Ran that, made sure kernel 5.18 was up to date, and rebooted, greeted with the same issue.

can you try in terminal

nvidia-smi

nvidia-smi returns

No devices were found

anything in

sudo journalctl -b0 -g nvidia

also need

cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-mhwd.conf

Yes, though bear with me while I get the output to post

As for sudo journalctl -b0 , the output is quite long and I can post it in full if I need to, but there are a few of note regarding NVRM:

you have the same issue as another one… nvidia doesnt work with the latest 5.15 drivers… the same RmInitAdapter failed! … there were some recent nvidia updates, run the updates and see if that helps…

Could you link to that thread?

its this one … the solution was to downgrade to the 5.10 drivers … you can also add this boot parameter, and see if that helps:
mem_encrypt=off
here is a link on how to do it from the grub menu

can you also see for upgrade your UEFI motherbard , after solve video card ?
https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/B350-GAMING-PRO-CARBON/support

you should see with 7B00v1H 2019-01-15

I’ll try both solutions

brahma’s solution ended up working out, though using the 518 drivers like so:

sudo pacman -S linux518-nvidia

Thanks a ton to the both of you!

what do you mean, what worked for you, what exactly did you do?
