Hi @S1lentKn1ght, and welcome!

The best, in my opinion, would be to boot with installation media, o0pen a terminal and enter a chroot environment of your system. Once there, you can inspect, and provide the logs:

  • To view the error and warnings from the previous boot:
journalctl --boot=-1 --priority=3

To chroot:

  1. Ensure you’ve got a relatively new ISO or at least one with an LTS kernel.

  2. Write/copy/dd the ISO to a USB thumb drive.

  3. When done, boot with the above mentioned USB thumb drive into the live environment.

  4. Once booted, open a terminal and enter the following command to enter the chroot encironment:

manjaro-chroot -a
  1. If you have more than one Linux installation, select the correct one to use from the list provided.

When done, you should now be in the chroot environment.

But, be careful, as you’re now in an actual root environment on your computer, so any changes you make will persist after a restart. From here, you can run the journalctl command from earlier.

Hope this helps!
