Dear experts, bear with me, I don’t know what to do 
.
I have run the current latest update, everything runs fine on kernel linux514 with KDE. But I saw the notice that linux514 is EOL and you should update to linux515. I have run the following command: sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux515 and it was correctly installed (e.g. no errors). When I boot with the latest installed kernel (linux515), I get the login screen and I log in, but it hangs on the splash screen. It will not load the desktop for me (even after 20 min)! How can I troubleshoot/fix this?
When I boot with the linux514 version, it’s instantly loaded. I also tried it with linux510, but the screen resolution is not correctly detect on login and then it sends no signal to the screens (It worked fine in the beginning with linux510 (in may 2021)), then I updated to linux513/514 and now 515.
My screens are 2x 27 inch: MSI MAG274QRF-QD
Current system specs: inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --width.

To note, the linux515 kernel version works perfectly on 2 of my laptops (both KDE):
- dell xps 15, i9-9980HK, with a nvdia GTX 1650
- old asus laptop, i3 M 370, with a AMD/ATI HD5430
