ArchLinux doesn't boot past the bootloader (lemmy.ca)

I'm able to get to the BIOS on my desktop. But when greeted by the boot loader to choose between Arch or Arch fallback, after choosing, I lose display.

Sometimes I can get display, but its not consistent. Draining my computers power by unplugging the power cord and holding the power button works sometimes. Sometimes a simple reboot will work.

I have an Asus b550m-plus motherboard. It was working great with Arch until recently.

Edit: it uses by press e at the boot loader then putting nomodeset at the end, but the display is choppy compared to when its able to boot without it.

Edit: Installing linux-lts and directing my bootloader to it worked. I didn't even need to install linux.

Interesting. It would suggest there is an issue with your card.

Are you dual booting Windows as well? Any way you could check power and heat measurements on the card with Windows tools? A Linux Kernel is not so easy to just topple like this with a normally behaving piece of hardware. Windows should be the first to have issues. Also check if the Catalyst logs show any similar kind of warnings.
