PC turns on, monitor only shows a black screen
Hey, I'm not sure at all what caused this but I at least have an order of events.
I had just finished installing bazzite on my PC. If failed the first time but after deleting an Ubuntu folder in the EFI, bazzite installed successfully.
It booted fine, and I was waiting for it to finish the install scripts from that popup you get after booting into the desktop. At some point, the screen turned off. I assumed it fell asleep. I tried to wake it up but it wouldn't respond. I manually turned the PC off and on, and now it would just do as the video shows.
The worst part is I cannot enter the UEFI. I can't imagine why that would be the case. I already changed the HDMI cable to different ports on both the PC and the monitor. Only thing I haven't tried yet is using a DP port but I don't think that would work.
Is there anything I could do?

IT doesn't look like it's even getting to the BIOS. Try unplug the entire pc from power for 15 minutes and try again.
Thank you, doing that now
No changes. I'm pretty sure this is a device issue instead of a Linux or bazzite issue but I can't determine why this would have happened anyway.
I have a legion go that I am dual booting bazzite and windows with and I never encountered an issue like this, where i can't even get into the BIOS. I wonder if anyone else ever encountered smth like this
Had to reset the BIOS and load optimized defaults. It's a known issue with Minisforum HX99G PCs apparently
Glad that you came right. I was going to suggest disconnecting all internal hardware and connecting one device at a time.
