No GPU after detaching HDD

Hi,

Windows was installed on the HDD, and in recent days it had been saying, "Press X to skip the disk scan."
This happened every time I booted up. In the last few days, it had started displaying a blue screen error and Windows wouldn't start.

I unplugged the cable. At first, Arch booted into emergency mode. It was looking for the old `/dev/sdb`.
I changed all instances of `sdb` in the config file to `sda` in `/etc/fstab`.
I ran `mkinitcpio -P` and `sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg` commands.

Then it booted successfully. The resolution is set to 1024x768, and it doesn't detect the graphics card.

lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] (rev a1)
        Subsystem: EVGA Corporation Device 6255
        Kernel modules: nouveau
01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation GP107GL High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1)
        Subsystem: EVGA Corporation Device 6255
        Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel
        Kernel modules: snd_hda_intel

lspci | grep "nvidia"
returns empty

EDIT: Resolution is fine and normal while booting. When login screen appears its down

Did you happen to encounter https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=314815 by coincidence?
Do you use nvidia-open or nvidia-open-dkms or something else?

While booting resolution remains set by UEFI.

Re: No GPU after detaching HDD

Ah, GeForce GTX 1050 Ti is NV137. You should use either nvidia-580xx-dkms or nouveau.
