i just selected the iso i downloaded idk
hasty arrow
MBR
Ok, Not sure this is the problem, but I recommand you re-flash your USB. This time you select GPT as partition scheme and when it ask for it, select ISO method
hasty arrow
it's ok, it should ask you once you click Start
rain fern
is this what you were talking about?
hasty arrow
which rufus autorun files ? I don't know what you are talking about
rain fern
which rufus autorun files ? I don't know what you are talking about
ill show you in a bit
just these
hasty arrow
same issue ?
hasty arrow
If you select Compatibility Mode this should do the same thing
notexactly the same, but pretty the same
wait, nomodeset=0 ..
Try the Compatibility Mode
What is the exact model of your Laptop ?
rain fern
uhh
acer aspire v3 575g-52gy
oh ok, so i did nouveau.nomodeset=0, acpi=noirq, and pci=biosirq and it shut down at um
Load/save rf kill switch status
hasty arrow
what happen if you simply select Compatibility Mode ?
hasty arrow
pretty strange
rain fern
its prob with my gpu
hasty arrow
Try to reset BIOS to default parameters.. then reboot and simply disable Secure Boot and retry
rain fern
oke
hasty arrow
never seen GPU issue produce such behavior and error message
Also, check Acer support website, using Laptop serial number, if you can found BIOS update
rain fern
u want me to uodate BIOS?
hasty arrow
Actually, I doubt you can... but, if BIOS update is available, this might be a good idea
Because I really don't know what can be the issue, except a very strange BIOS
And you BIOS have no options...
rain fern
hmm
all i see on the acer support website is some update for some random app
this lowk might be toast :(
hasty arrow
Ok, so, no BIOS update as I suspected
rain fern
my bios isn't normal?
hasty arrow
Maybe it is, I don't know
This kind of crash is unusual
And when you select Compatibility Mode, you have the same error message ?
rain fern
And when you select Compatibility Mode, you have the same error message ?
