Can't boot into BIOS after a black screen during a bazzite update
Hi guys, I am a first time linux user. Thought of trying out bazzite last night.
Setup:
>Msi b450m mortar
>Ryzen 5700x3d
>RTX 3060ti
>32 gb ram
Install:
1. Created bazzite boot usb with rufus and nvidia image+kde
2. Partitioned my SSD (win11 boot 250gb, 190gb for bazzite)
3. Followed guide to set up all the partitions for bazzite including efi etc.
4. Installed bazzite and booted into the desktop when completed (I realised that I forgot to disable secure boot during the install. So just before the next boot, I went into BIOS and disabled secure boot)
5. The grub menu was initially broken so I ran the command to restore it and it was showing up for the next boot.
6. Set default boot to bazzite partition in BIOS.
7. Registered bazzite key for secure boot and then re-enabled secure boot.
8. Loaded up the bazzite desktop, connected wifi. Everything is good so far. Then I went into the software center and ran update all.
9. Mid update the screen just went blank. I waited for 10 mins and when the screen remained blank, I tried to bring up the console with ctrl+alt+f2 but nothing came up. So I hard rebooted.
10. Now every time I boot up, I just see a black screen (the display is on as I can see the backlight bleed on my ips display).
11. Unable to enter BIOS.
Tried the following to troubleshoot/enter bios:
1. BIOS key (del) at bootup seems to do nothing to take me into the BIOS menu. Tried it around 10 reboots.
2. Display is connected from gpu dp out to display dp in. Checked my DP cable, replaced setup with an hdmi cable.
3. Tried to reset CMOS by shorting the jbat pins so that the boot order of the partitions is reset.
4. Unplugged the SSD with both win/bazzite boot partitions (in the hope that I would at least boot into the BIOS now), still black screen on gpu dp out.
5. With step 4, switched to motherboard dp out so that I can see bios at least. No luck.
Please suggest further.
