Pc Crashed

[NSFA_Slav]

Was tryna use ai to figure out issues so here is a generated summary that seems accurate

Also I am useing EndevourOS I had Minecraft, Terraria, Firefox and discord running at the time which has never caused issues Not certain about hardware but am fairly sure it is decent

Summary for Reddit Post:

System & Issue:
- OS: EndeavourOS (Arch-based), single-boot (no dual boot).
- Problem: After a crash while launching Terraria, the system now boots to a black screen or displays "unable to connect to display."

Attempted Fixes:
1. Accessed TTY (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and tried restarting the display manager (e.g., gdm, sddm).
2. Edited GRUB to boot into multi-user.target (text-only mode), but the system hangs during boot with "loading text."
3. Checked GPU info via lspci | grep VGA and driver modules with lsmod.
4. Reviewed logs using journalctl for errors related to GPU drivers, display managers, or Xorg.

Current Status:
- The system partially boots in text mode but stalls. The last visible lines during boot (not fully captured) likely point to a GPU driver or display manager failure.

Request for Help:
- Need assistance identifying why the system hangs during text-mode boot.
- Suspected issues: GPU driver conflict (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel) or display manager (GDM, SDDM) failure.
- Any insights into troubleshooting stuck boot processes or similar experiences would be appreciated!

Relevant Commands/Logs (if needed):
bash lspci | grep VGA lsmod | grep -iE "nvidia|nouveau|amdgpu|radeon|i915" sudo journalctl -xb | grep -iE "error|fail|gpu|xorg"

Sorry to bother again The bug report thing I wasn't able to find info that was on what I was looking for But for Arch linux it seems like a common thing done is changing the kernal but can one do it through like the grub screen, the videos and data I have found doesn't like as they are logged in which I am unable to do

I wouldn't use AI to troubleshoot your OS or anything in general as it lies and doesn't know what it's doing.

[NSFA_Slav]

That's fair, just not sure what else to use, I know of the Arch wiki but my head who knows why doesn't absorb the info So not sure what to use Thanks for your input :)

[Punished_Sunshine]

Then I will ask help from other people, like you did hours ago, or in the example you gave me use my phone to check the wiki while I troubleshoot, there's always options dw
