Black screen when trying to connect to wifi via iwctl

After

station name get-networks

the screen goes black and I can no longer interact with my pc. I would provide more info/logs but I don't know where to get them, I'm totally new. Here is a video of what happens: arch_bug.

Maybe you can try to perform the connection using nmcli.

Re: Black screen when trying to connect to wifi via iwctl

Please provide a basic oversight of the hardware in question.

lspci; lsusb; grep name /proc/cpuinfo

Also is it only the monitor or does the system power down/reboot?
Can you "revive" it by switching the VT (ctrl+alt+F3)?
If it's only the panel, I'd try to disable PSR

i915.enable_psr=0 amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x12
