Black Screen Then Motherboard Logo After Troubleshooting

Yesterday I was playing Minecraft, listening to a youtube video, and installing Android Studio through the Pamac GUI (IDK why the GUI I normally use yay.) Then the entire OS freezes, the audio loops back ~1 second and repeats. Idiot me thinks the only way to fix this is to power off the PC, so I did. I try to boot up again, and… There’s and error reading that it cannot find a file that I never wrote down anywhere because I thought I could remember it. I went to a wiki page that had about the same problem after browsing the forums.

After following the instructions with no problems, I tried to boot again, but this time there was just a black screen for a few seconds. I went to my motherboard settings and saw that there were now TWO bootable OSs from the same SSD, INSERT SSD NAME HERE 500GB and manjaro SSD NAME HERE 500GB. I tried both, but had the same problem on each.

Today, I decided to try again. I booted up the manjaro live USB and now when I use manjaro-chroot -a I get:

grub-probe: error: cannot find a GRUB drive for /dev/sdb1.  Check your device.map.
==> Mounting (ManjaroLinux) [/dev/sda2]
 --> mount: [/mnt]
 --> mount: [/mnt/boot/efi]

But it still lets me in.
How do I get manjaro to boot?

Info

Here’s my inxi output from chroot:

Also I never got GRUB when I booted, (like ever) so maybe that is linked to the problem?

Turns out I had a backup, so I don’t need the answer to this anymore.
