GRUB does not boot into Arch Linux?

I have a problem with my installation of Arch. I had recently uninstalled it as I wanted a clean install. I installed it up to the point of rebooting after installing and configuring GRUB with microcodes enabled. I rebooted and thought everything was going well. GRUB loaded up seemlessly like it always has. This time however, instead of loading up the Arch Linux CLI like it normally does, it shows two entries, a line telling me what is booting up and a second line telling me that my disk has been mounted and is ready to go. As soon as that second line comes in my screen immediately turns black. My computer then stops emitting a HDMI output and stops displaying to the monitor entirely. The computer will then restart

This happens again and again putting my computer in an endless reboot cycle as it tries to start the OS.

I do have windows also on another partiton, but it is not using GRUB to boot and is on a HDD. My graphics card is an RTX 2080 that I have had a few issues with linux in the past before, but never this bad and only on linux and not on windows.

Re: GRUB does not boot into Arch Linux?

chroot in, impossible to guess, and check appropriate logfiles/fstab/conf-files and post them here.

I possess a device, in my pocket, that is capable of accessing the entirety of information known to man.
I use it to look at funny pictures of cats and to argue with strangers.

Re: GRUB does not boot into Arch Linux?

I was going to and then but before that I wanted to see if it had anything to do with the ISO file. I decided to put a new copy of the arch linux installer onto the drive. Now the USB is doing the same thing when I tried to boot from it. A windows install disk worked fine on the computer so I don't understand why the arch one does not. It gets stuck on the same step just after booting where it starts loading up things such as noveau and other software. It just crashes and reboots again and again.

Re: GRUB does not boot into Arch Linux?

Can you boot with the nomodeset parameter? nouveau is unlikely to work properly on this card.
