I was using Fedora 40 and all of a sudden it stopped working, it takes me to a selection screen where there is fedora 39(i originally installed that version the it was upgraded) i select it it says booting and then a black screen, i had also zorin in another hard drive and the same happens, i tried booting from bare metal with a usb and the same happens but it takes me to a prompt that says boot: and i can write stuff.

      Yes and Oh, the joy of booting up your Linux desktop when everyone else is having to fuss with the latest fix from Microbloat or eradicate malware that is simply on all Win machines. (Good luck with that buddy)

          Could be ram, could be bad USB stick. I9 processors apparently have an issue if that’s what’s being run

            I managed to boot from the USB stick while running Mint in compatibility mode. I assume that if i burn and reinstall hopefully everything would be good if the hardware is working. Maybe I could fix it but I have no idea how to know whats wrong.

              There could be an issue with those things. You could try using a different USB stick to eliminate the stick, different USB port etc maybe try a disc instead of a USB stick if possible
