[Solved] Updating nvidia resulting in a failure

I had an update the packages today, but I got to downgrade to the previous version of nvidia.

[2016-12-16 11:12] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] ==> dkms install nvidia/375.26 -k 4.8.13-1-ARCH

Then I downgraded to  nvidia/375.20 and I got the system back and kicking

$ pacman -Qs nvidia
local/lib32-nvidia-libgl 375.26-1
    NVIDIA drivers libraries symlinks (32-bit)
local/lib32-nvidia-utils 375.20-3
    NVIDIA drivers utilities (32-bit)
local/libvdpau 1.1.1-2
    Nvidia VDPAU library
local/nvidia-dkms 375.20-3
    NVIDIA driver sources for linux
local/nvidia-libgl 375.26-1
    NVIDIA drivers libraries symlinks
local/nvidia-utils 375.20-3
    NVIDIA drivers utilities

My laptop is an AsusG75VX.

Re: [Solved] Updating nvidia resulting in a failure

Even the latest version 375.26-2 failed to start. I'm stuck to version 375.20-3.

EDIT
It's solved, but I don't know what happened.
