Unable to boot into Arch

I recently installed arch a few days ago and after installing the proprietary nvidia drivers I noticed I was unable to boot into arch. I am new to arch and have no idea what to do to fix this problem.

Did you add the nvidia kernel modules to the initrd? What is displayed if anything when you boot? Should a graphical environment start on boot? Can you reached a tty with Ctrl + Alt +F2?
Please post the journal for a boot with the issue. If you can not reach a console booting the installed system use live media then chroot in. See pastebin to post from the console.

All I can see on the screen is “Starting version 250.4-2-arch” “/dev/sda2: clean, 202648/2411920 files, 1819244/9639168”. Nothing else is displayed, it remains like this forever.

That could be caused by multiple things. That is why the journal contents is required.

If you don't have a live usb handy, I'd wager that adding "nomodeset" to the kernel line would allow you to boot to a tty (though any auto-starting graphical session would then definitely fail).
