Hello there!
I am new to the world of Linux and i recently set up a dual boot
This was working pretty well, as i got to choose between linux and windows with grub at startup.
Now i had to get rid of an old hard drive that was still holding a mint installation.
It's not the one i use and i haven't booted into it in a while
everything seemed to be working fine after taking it out too
Yesterday i restarted because i wanted to play a game that wasn't safe to play online with wine (thanks EAC)
Though what i noticed was a pure black screen, and then a straight boot into mint
If i tell it to boot into BIOS, or press any key whatsoever at startup, i am met with an infinite black screen
TL;DR I cannot get into grub or BIOS, i've tried every grub config edit under the sun.
[SOLVED] Can't get into UEFI BIOS anymore

Re: Can't get into UEFI BIOS anymore
Hi there! I'm sorry, but I wouldn't have been able to boot into my live USB as i was on a permanent black screen until linux just showed the login screen. However i was able to solve this issue by unplugging every device except the 3 essentials (keyboard/mouse/1 monitor)!
