Black screen on booting the live Plasma ISO

AtAyoub

Hello, i got a brand new laptop (MSI Thin 15), sadly it had Navidia RTX.
I want to install Solus Plasma but it's showing black screen after boot, i picked the option "Navidia Compatible" but it's not helping....
Anyone can help? Ii viewed the guide, reddit, chatgpt and nothing helped.

When I boot up the Plasma live ISO (USB) on my laptop with an NVIDIA GPU, I have to use the normal mode, not the NVIDIA compatible mode. The latter also results in a black screen for me. Try that.

Black screen on live system or after installation?

On installation, i pick solus from ventoy options (tried rufus, etcher too) and then it will give me 3 options:

Solus {plasma)
Solus (nomodeset)
Solus (debugging mode)

Review your BIOS settings with a known quantity (Win usb is an option). Sometimes not all the POST gets displayed correctly.

Ruling that out, still work through the BIOS settings (safe boot, UEFI settings, etc.).

It took much hair pulling to get a combination to get the boot from usb to work.

Or even burn a live DVD if you have that option.

qsl BIOS are all turned off (safe boot, fast boot...)
So it's not there

I think he has issues with the graphic card, not with the bios
