[Solved] After upgrading system/VIrtualbox kernels won't load

After running an update on my system and trying to use Virtualbox I recieve this:
============================================================
WARNING: The vboxdrv kernel module is not loaded. Either there is no module
         available for the current kernel (3.16.4-1-ARCH) or it failed to
         load. Please reinstall the kernel module virtualbox-host-modules or
         if you don't use our stock kernel compile the modules with

           sudo dkms autoinstall

         You will not be able to start VMs until this problem is fixed.
VBoxHeadless: Error -1908 in suplibOsInit!
VBoxHeadless: Kernel driver not installed

VBoxHeadless: Tip! Make sure the kernel module is loaded. It may also help to reinstall VirtualBox.
============================================================

I have tried to reinstall virtualbox and the kernels, I've manually reloaded my kernel modules, and I still have no luck.
Does anyone have any ideas?
