I recently installed Ubuntu on my system, which has an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card, along with an MSI MAG B650M Mortar WiFi motherboard. However, when I start it up after the first reboot, all I get is a blank screen. I've tried selecting "Ubuntu" at the GRUB menu and waited for several minutes, but nothing happens. I also followed a suggestion to press "e" at GRUB and add "nomodeset" after "ro quiet splash," but that didn't help either. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks!

Double-check your connections and ensure you're using an Ethernet cable during installation. Also, remember to remove your boot media after the installation. Those small oversights can sometimes cause issues.
It sounds like you're seeing the GRUB menu, which is a good sign! But if it still leads to a blank screen after selecting Ubuntu, it could be an issue with drivers. Make sure to try adding `nvidia-drm.modeset=1` to your GRUB parameters and see if that helps.
Good point! I had similar issues, and changing the modeset did the trick for me. Let us know if it works for you!
