I recently decided to install Arch Linux and thought I had everything ready to go. However, I'm running into issues with the GRUB installation—it just doesn't seem to work at all. I've followed the installation guide I found for Arch, specifically one related to GRUB, but when I attempt to install it, I end up with a blank screen after my Lenovo Thinkcenter BIOS.
I'm looking for any guidance or troubleshooting tips to resolve this issue, especially regarding GRUB installation.

It sounds like you might have mixed up some directions from a couple of different guides. Arch typically suggests a specific way to mount the EFI partition, while other guides could propose a different setup. If GRUB was installed with instructions for one mount point but the EFI partition is set for another, it could definitely cause boot issues.
You should review where your EFI partition is mounted and make sure that’s the right location when you install GRUB.
Could it be that you followed the wrong installation guide? If you used the Arch Wiki, their GRUB installation steps are pretty straightforward. Make sure you also check their GRUB installation instructions specifically.
By the way, what command did you actually run to install GRUB? And just double-check that Secure Boot is disabled in your BIOS!
