Bazzite fails to boot after install

Hey everyone! I'm brand new to Linux and I'm trying to install Bazzite on my desktop, but I'm not able to get it to boot into the OS after a supposed successful install. It just hangs on the loading screen after selecting "Bazzite (ostree:0) from the Grub menu

Heres all the relevant information I can think to give:

- My desktop had Windows on it but I opted for a clean install and selected "delete all" on my OS drive and proceeded with the install.
- I've ensured the CSM and Secure Boot are disabled in my bios before installation

Hardware:
- Ryzen 7 7800
- Nvidia RTX 3080TI

Troubleshooting steps:

- I've reinstalled multiple times.
- Tried with secure boot enabled and disabled.
- I recreated the install media with the official Fedora Media creation tool. I first did it with Rufus.
- I've tried overriding the GUI launch to get to a terminal by modifying what I think to be the Grub launch commands (i'm sorry I know nothing of this stuff lol) by appending the "linux ($root)/ostree/.... line with ' 3' but that didnt seem to do anything. I've tried using ctrl+alt+f2, while it seems to be loading the GUI, to get to it the terminal but that just causes it to lock up.

All of these things are stuff I'm finding in forums and youtube videos but I'm nothing I try seems to get me anywhere. Any help would be amazing! Thanks all!
Solution
Ok I managed to figure this out. All it ended up being was I needed to swap out my ultrawide monitor for a standard 16:9 monitor and it just worked. Not sure what the deal was but meh i'm in! 🙂 Thanks all!
