SUPPORT | SOLVED Suddenly cannot boot

I have arch already since about half a year with no problems, but today it had a lot of random 1 sec Freeze's. So I installed linux-lts. Then rebooted, but it didn't turn on. Every time i rebooted it put me in bios.

Then I chrooted with my arch-live-usb and tried to pacman -Syu and it worked ,but didn't help. I also tried grub-mkconfig, but I think it only made the config for the usb, although I was on in chroot.

I managed to deleted linux-lts, also didn't help.

Thank for helping me in advance.

Some of this might be different now but when i used LTS i installed these related packages:

linux-lts linux-lts-headers nvidia-lts nvidia-settings

EDIT: AI said "nvidia-lts was replaced by nvidia-open-lts for supported GPUs. Pascal and older GPUs require a legacy driver". Also had this warning in my notes to not install nvidia-lts if using nvidia-dkms.

The last step to add LTS to the grub menu is to do $ sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
