I don’t know; there are many potential possibilities for a boot failure. Normally, nobody can begin to take a guess until they have at least seen some logs, and have a good idea of your environment. Sometimes clumsy mistakes during install can be a cause; the list goes on. I will note though, that I see more issues with a Nvidia-Gnome combination, than much else.
Exactly, how old is the laptop (out of curiosity)?
Some information might help others;
inxi --admin --verbosity=8 --filter --no-host --width
and logs from after a failure to boot:
journalctl --boot=-1 --priority=3 --catalog --no-pager
