I’m able to get to the BIOS on my desktop. But when greeted by the boot loader to choose between Arch or Arch fallback, after choosing, I lose display.

Sometimes I can get display, but its not consistent. Draining my computers power by unplugging the power cord and holding the power button works sometimes. Sometimes a simple reboot will work.

I have an Asus b550m-plus motherboard. It was working great with Arch until recently.

Edit: it uses by press e at the boot loader then putting nomodeset at the end, but the display is choppy compared to when its able to boot without it.

Edit: Installing linux-lts and directing my bootloader to it worked. I didn’t even need to install linux.

    Try going into your CMOS and making sure that onboard graphics are disabled, as well as HDMI. It may only be there in case you have an APU and automatically disabled when one isn’t present.

    Also, check and see if your motherboard has any firmware updates. That could be hugely important here.
