[Solved] Management of energy with Nvidia card

first sorry for my english!
Two days ago I format my computer. I downloaded the ISO 03.09.2016 and passed to a flash drive like I always do.
After selecting the "Boot Arch Linux (x86_64)" the monitor goes into power management.
I realized that without the video card that does not happen. There seems to be some kind of conflict between the installation files and NVIDIA video cards.
I had an ISO 11.01.2015 saved on an external HD, I tried to use this ISO to install Arch and this time the monitor did not come into power management, however when I do the first boot after installation the monitor back to get in the way power management.
Does anyone have any idea what might be happening? Remember that when I shot the video card NVIDIA can use Arch normally.

Which nvidia card? Chances are that it is too new to properly use modesetting with nouveau, try booting with nomodeset (use Tab (BIOS) or E (UEFI) to change kernel parameters)

You're right.
I managed to solve editing 

/etc/default/grub

  changing the line

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"

  to 

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset"

  and

GRUB_GFXMODE=auto

to

GRUB_GFXMODE=1920x1080x24

Thanks!!!
