[SOLVED] Installing Arch Linux on New Machine

I just build a new machine with EVGA Z170 Stinger Motherboard and 32 GB. I was using my old Arch Linux installation until today when I got my two new SSD OCZ Vector 180 (240 GB and 480 GB). I created a Arch Linux 2016.08 USB disc using Rufus on Windows. The motherboard is set to boot into uefi and I get the boot screen for boot Arch Linux but after that the screen goes dark. I see for a second Arch Linux booting but after that the screen turns off. I assume it is because of KMS being tured on and I have a GTX 970 card installed as well. The CPU is a Skylake 6700K BTW. How do I turn off KMS on the boot media I have created?
