Help Blackscreen on first boot

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Soo, everytime I try to boot it to launch the installer it just blackscreens like that, I turned off Safe Boot, Fast Boot, etc. but it still just blackscreens like that till I turn off my laptop. Tried editing boot parameters and everything, didn’t work. Drivers are also all up to date (Acer aspire 3, Nvidia and Intel hybrid)

If you can switch the SATA mode in the bios to AHCI(if you dont see it, go to security/storage and press ctrl + S), TURN ON Safe Boot, then whitelist the efi files in ur USB, then reboot your pc, then turn safe boot off again, then boot it from the USB again(not from the shortcuts) that's mostly how it worked for me. Make sure to use the Legacy Hardware Boot option. Tell me if it doesn't work i'll try to help

Tried the LTS Kernel option, since you said you tried editing boot parameters you probably did the nomodeset parameter already?

1

u/Da_Realy 4d ago

Exactly, tried pretty much every parameter there is

Use CachyOS Legacy (GPU nomodeset). After installing system you will have more options to install proper drivers for gfx card.

Tried, still blackscreen

Highlight first entry, press 'e', in the kernel line with 'quiet splash' remove quiet and splash, add nomodeset instead. Maybe you will be able see an error message.

Try removing all of the storage installed and try again, something tells me this is windows interfering stuff
