Hello,
i am quite desperate right now and i am not even sure what could possibly be causing this but here is what is happening:
Every time i power on my laptop it would normally display an acer-logo, then take me to grub. I Have a
Manjaro KDE Plasma and Windows 10 Dual-Boot setup. Now, instead the laptop will seemingly freeze at some point during this procedure and only thing i can do is hard reset.
I have tried:
- to get into BIOS
- to get in the BOOT menu and boot either Windows or Manjaro
- to boot live linux from USB
but there seems to be some randomness to it. Most of the times it will just freeze. If i make it to either BIOS or BOOT i am able to make changes as usual. If i make it to grub it will mostly just freeze (with timer freezing at either 10s/9s or before the 10s timer gets even displayed). Booting manjaro never works, booting Windows sometimes works.
Either option works fine once open. I can use Windows normally without freezing.
I have never encountered something like this and frankly i am just grasping at straws.
If i can provide anything that might help i will be happy to do so.
Mark
