Hello,

I’m not sure where/what to look for to solve this problem, so I’m trying here.
When I start my laptop (DELL Precision 5530), the DELL logo appears and disappears several times before the PC finishes booting up.

I’m sharing a link to a short video of my PC's startup to give you an idea:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sCa1Lcm5HpwAdIvKY1DbjVsq2OOXeZ0V/view?usp=sharing

I’m using Manjaro (there was Windows 10 before).
So I would like to know what causes this, if it can be fixed, or even how to remove the DELL logo (even if it means having the terminal with all the startup steps)

Thanks!

Hello,

in the BIOS, disable fast boot to see what the POST (Power-On Self Test) says.

Hello,
thank you for your response.
I indeed disabled fastboot, but I also ended up finding a solution on another forum that works for me.
After trying to change the GRUB_GFXMODE parameter in /etc/default/grub to set my resolution instead of auto (without success), I finally decided to modify this line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet i915.fastboot=1"
by removing the word quiet. Instead of having a flashing DELL logo, I just have the step-by-step boot details in text, which I find much more aesthetically pleasing!
I will close the topic.
