Trying to use nvidia card, Not booting

I followed steps in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA … phics_only
I made conf file and .xinitrc file(copy, pasted).
after reboot, it showed "nouveau ~~" and "nvidia probe routine was not called for 1 device" and stopped.
So I deleted .xinitrc, conf file and plymouth but not works.
Then, I changed conf file with .xinitrc deleted. Move Option "PrimaryGPU" "yes" from nvidia to intel.
And I changed GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT from "nowatchdog nvmeload_YES quiet splash acpi=force" to "nowatchdog debug".
Then it sometimes boot. I think If I press on button five time, it boot one time.

Sorry for my english. I'm not good at english.
What should I do if I want to boot smoothly?

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Please post your Xorg log, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General
