Thanks for your reply.Many error messages can be found the journal, which can be made to persist across boots. Man journalctl should tell you syntax for using it from live boot. If /var/log/journal/ exists, persistent journal exists. Technically, /etc/systemd/journald.conf is supposed to control whether /var/log/journal/ exists, but I find it easier to simply create it than to understand what needs to be changed in journald.conf.
I was able to access the journal log and read info from the last boots, but nothing useful for this situation. Luckily I recently discovered Timeshift and had a backup from right before I installed the nvidia driver. So now im back on the Nouveu driver.
Reading from others experiences it seems its simply not possible to use that old nvidia driver anymore with never kernels.
