First time user of linux in general so my knowledge is EXTREMELY limited. I recently installed Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.1 on my Intel 10900/Asus Z590 server rig. The problem I am encountering is that a few seconds after choosing the linux bootloader, the screen goes black and doesn't recover. I have to reboot and choose recovery mode in order to get any video.
After booting, I get a messages from the driver manager that I am running in software mode and that I should update my drivers. I of course do so, but it tells me that everything is installed to the latest ones. I am including a few informational command dumps just to see if anyone can point me in the right direction to try and solve this. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated to get me on my way:
