Black Screen upon login

After booting up arch I log in and 3/4 of my screen is black with 1/4 of the screen at the top left visible. I am currently using 64 bit arch, and I tried resting all nvidia configurations but that didin't fix the problem. Also the rest of screen seems to be active, however just not visible.

Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thank you in advance.

What kind of graphics card do you use?

Probably nvidia since it is stated in the post. 

There seem to be a number of these black screen issues.  Have you tried a forum search?  I'm sorry but I don't know a solution myself.

Re: Black Screen upon login

If you can, maybe post your Xorg.0.log (should be in /var/log) this will give us some information on what is happening as far as things. I'm wondering what mode it is setting and Virtual screen size, etc.
