Can’t boot after fresh install

Hi! New to bazzite and trying it for the first time. Did a fresh install from the live stable iso (42.20250908).

I’ve got an NZXT desktop with a Ryzen 5 5600 and RTX 3070.

After install, I cannot boot the system. When attempting to load the nvidia driver, the system will just go to a black screen and I lose my monitor connection.

This happens with or without secure boot enabled (I have registered a key with MOK).

I have a screenshot of the output right up until it goes blank.

Any thought? Any way to bypass the driver for now (my Ryzen does not have onboard graphics)?

Thank you.

Solution
Problem solved by using a DisplayPort connection instead of HDMI. Don’t know why HDMI wasn’t recognized, but everything works swimmingly now.
