Black screen appeared after restarted Zorin 18

General Help

OK. So I somehow fixed it. But anyways I reinstalled Zorin OS, black blank screen appeared after reboot. Is it because of NVIDIA DRIVERS? I selected as modern Nivida driver option to install Zorin 18 :confused:

Did you disable Secure boot in you BIOS ?

Yes is it.

Also it UEFI not bios.

Ok I checked and here is it:
OS Type: Other
Secure Boot Mode: Standard not custom. So It's set to Standard not custom because there's only 2 options. I disabled Fast Start-Up in windows too. I'm doing dual-booting.

Then sorry I can't help you, dual boot is really not my thing...

OK, It's all good. I'll wait for somebody else to help me.

During the Zorin installation, have you tick marked Install Additional drivers?

Nvidia cards can be problematic under Linux. Please mention your Nvidia card model and details.

No I don't think so? It's RTX 40 Series, and also told me restart driver after I installed it.

Getting a black screen after a reboot is usually an NVIDIA driver issue. You can try jumping into recovery mode to reinstall the driver or just switch back to nouveau for now.
