Purchased a fresh computer, yet Ubuntu 20.04 installation failed despite all online attempts
I began using Manjaro and set acpi=off, which fixed the blank screen issue. Now I'm attempting to boot Manjaro. For Ubuntu, Pop_Os, and Manjaro, turning acpi off is the only solution to start the boot process; otherwise, the process fails. I'll share the update once I successfully boot to Manjaro.
I set up Manjaro using systemd-boot and chose automatic partitioning. Now, when I attempt to boot into Manjaro, the login screen appears and the display becomes blank.
I can't access another shell. Right after the system starts, the monitor loses connection just before the login screen and it restarts again. This cycle repeats continuously. I've tried setting nomodeset, but it doesn't help. The only solution that works for me is disabling acpi.
I'm really confused about this situation. The ACPI needs to be off, the graphics card is losing signal, and Ubuntu isn't cooperating with the drive. The only ideas I have are some unusual power management settings related to PCI. Diagnosing this would be tough without the hardware. I didn't find any bug reports, but some users reported similar problems with SATA issues on that board, though no solutions were provided. If this is my case, I'd probably swap the board for another one since something seems wrong. Linux doesn't work well with non-standard setups.
If it happens with Windows, then either something is unstable or there is something wrong with the Motherboard or Graphics Card.
