Issue booting when doing first boot after install

I installed Garuda with the Nvidia drivers and it was working well until I restarted my PC. Now when I turn on my PC it just gives me a black screen with no cursor and no way to access the TYY. The motherboard has a red VGA light and a red BOOT light, but I know my parts work because they worked yesterday with windows.

Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Use search function please


and post garuda-inxi from live ISO.

Yeah, Ive used the search feature and none of the solutions work for me. Also I can’t access anything on the computer, but I’m using the Garuda Dr460nized Gaming distro

I’ve been scrolling through the results and tried a few proposed solutions (like reseating everything) and nothing is working.

install with free driver, post garuda-inxi, install nvidia later.

This sounds like Fastboot and Secure Boot is not Disabled in your Bios Settings if it was on Windows working. Please Check your Bios Settings for it and disable it also ckeck CSM is off and ResizeBar on .

I had secure boot and fast boot off, but I can’t access the bios because my PC boots to a black screen and no buttons work

Which PC you have or do you know the Mainboard name and Model?Can you try to unplug the Power Cord press few times Power Button if it have RGB lights wait until there going off put the Power Cord back on and try mostly F2 or the DEL Button to get in the Bios.
