#I think my PC is bricked

I had Arch installed on two drives and just installed Omarchy on only one because I couldn't choose both. Now my PC won't boot past the manufacturer logo and won't enter BIOS even with a wired keyboard. Did Omarchy write over my UEFI or something? What are my options?

More than likely wiped your EFI partition

Thanks for the response! I have a Lenovo Legion tower and it's just stuck on the Legion logo, the keyboard is completely unresponsive regardless of mashing F10 or F2 or anything.

#

I don't know how else to enter BIOS

Have you tried F2 or F12? The keys can vary from model to model unfortunately

#

Del* not F2

I've tried them all, I'm genuinely so confused

#

I've tried several keyboards plugged in

have you tried unplugging power cord, waiting a few seconds, then plugging it back in and turning it on?

I've tried unplugging unnecessary peripherals

I'll try that now

#

does your motherboard have POST lights or 8 segment display?

devout rampart
#

unfortunately I don't think so

#

maybe it's my ram?

#

the gpu lights up, fans turn on and keyboard lights up, display is just stuck on the manufacturer logo

try reseating the RAM. Also try seeing if you can get the bios to show up if you unplug one of the drives. or both.

unplugging the drive i installed omarchy on did the trick! thank you so much
