[Solved] Nvidia "six screen problem"

Hi,
I have a problem that's probably OT, since it's not just about Arch.
I just assembled a new PC with QHD monitor and Nvidia 2060 super video card. I can't install Arch and I can't even start any liveUSB because a corrupted screen is shown, as in the photo.

On the wiki I found the problem of the "six screen problem" that should be mine:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NV … leshooting  (first issue)

But it doesn't happen to me when I load the X server, but simply trying to start the Arch USB stick and start the installation.
Do you have any idea what I could do?
