when booting into a fresh arch live usb, the text becomes unreadable (see photo), any way to resolve this issue?
My system:
- AMD Ryzen 7 5700x
- 32GB RAM
- Nvidia RTX 3070
- MSI X570-A Pro
- 1Offhand, it looks like video corruption. Either a bad video card/video memory, or a bad/incorrect driver. Can you download something such as FreeDOS (or anything else bootable that is mainly text mode) and see if the problem persists?C. M.– C. M.2021-06-23 12:56:35 +00:00Commented Jun 23, 2021 at 12:56

- @terdon I have waited several minutes and nothing happens. The graphics card is just fine (works perfectly on windows). I will try that with FreeDOSButzlabben– Butzlabben2021-06-26 14:15:03 +00:00Commented Jun 26, 2021 at 14:15
- Btw FreeDOS was not working at all, I simply could not boot into it.Butzlabben– Butzlabben2021-08-14 22:07:55 +00:00Commented Aug 14, 2021 at 22:07

I was able to resolve this issue: I used a dual monitor setup with the main one connected via Displayport and the secondary one via HDMI. Even with only the main one connected I would receive such errors. But when the system was booted I removed the primary and connected the secondary one and was able to get an image.
I did not try to only use the HDMI at first, but maybe this will also work.
