Hi,
I state that this is not the first time this happens but generally by reinstalling the system everything would be fine.
I've been having problems with Nvidia drivers for about a week now.
It all started a week ago when trying to update the system, and Pacman crashed the system while installing the NVidia dkms module. Since I didn't have time to investigate, I restored a snapshot.
Yesterday I decided to wipe, and I could not complete the installation using NVidia's closed source drivers.
I then completed the installation without the NVidia drivers and then installed them later, but the same thing happened as soon as I tried again. The system freezes, and so I am forced to force it to shut down.
I have already checked that the bios is up to date, and it is.

Just checked, fast boot and secure boot are disabled.
Also, I installed Windows before reinstalling but after the first time I had the problem so I don't think it's related.
Try switching to a different kernel–LTS is a good place to start.
Pull the system up to date:
garuda-update
Install LTS kernel:
sudo pacman -S linux-lts linus-lts-headers
Select “advanced options” on the grub menu to boot to your new kernel.

Have you disconnected your extraneous monitors?
Running 3 monitors isn't exactly a standard setup. I would highly suggest installing with only 1 main monitor to start with.
Edit:
Just read your post history. You've had more than 1 help request relating to your multi monitor setup. Have you tested disabling the kwin compositor?
Multi-monitor setups are fraught with issues as there are many bugs with this type of setup.

Perhaps you didn't notice my last minute edit just before your last post.
Have you tested disabling the kwin compositor?
Have you tried setting up your computer with only a single monitor?
Just tried, no difference
The same happens also if I try to install nvidia-dkms from the tty so the compositor isn’t the problem.

Perhaps try searching for some kernel parameters relevant to your motherboard and nvidia.
Test using nomodeset
to start with.

Other kernel parameters you might want to test are:
pcie_aspm=off
pci=noacpi
Another thing you could try is installing the older version of the nvidia driver. That is assuming there was an nvidia driver update during the timeframe when your system broke.

Okay, those two parameters helped. Now the whole system doesn’t crash anymore.
But it still keeps getting stuck there.

I believe the full parameter should be nomodeset=1
.
However, I am not an nvidia user, so I'm not overly familiar with what is required to get their basterdized drivers working.

How long does it get stuck on the dkms install?
Depending on how quick your machine is, this could take up to 2 or even 3mins.
I waited 10 minutes. Also if I am in tty I get multiple hardware errors.
What are the errors? Output to a text file and paste them into the thread, perhaps the errors will be meaningful to someone in the forum.
I try, however for the most part there are dumps of the CPU registers and RAM sectors as I have seen.
Since they are direct logs to the tty a screenshot is the only way I was able to show those logs.
