$ uname -rv
5.11.0-34-generic #36~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 27 08:06:32 UTC 2021
NVIDIA Driver Version: 470.63.01
Had the same issue for some time, until I've "fixed it" recently. The
problem appeared out of nowhere after some update. Booting with attached
external monitor no matter if attached to HDMI or to DP over USB-C
resulted in total freeze during Ubuntu splash screen (for me worse then
BSoD from the rival product, couse no feedback what's going on...).
The problem seems to be connected with Nvidia proprietary drivers. From
what I remember it didn't occur when the nouveau drivers were installed.
Also it only affected the "hybrid graphics" mode (the "dynamic graphics"
setting in the UEFI). The "discrete graphics" mode has another issue
(brightness control does not work).
What finally has fixed it for me was the purge of all nvidia packages
and the driver reinstallation.
$ sudo apt-get remove --purge '^nvidia-.*'
$ su
# for FILE in $(dpkg-divert --list | grep nvidia-470 | awk '{print $3}'); do
dpkg-divert --remove $FILE; done
# exit
$ sudo apt-get install -f
$ sudo apt-get autoremove
$ sudo apt-get clean
After that reboot the system and install a proprietary Nvidia driver.
I hope this helps somebody.

Title:
Ubuntu 20.04 HDMI connected, no boot
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have installed Ubuntu 20.04 (using the image created on 20 april) on
my Dell XPS15 9560. This laptop has a Intel / nVidia combo.
The problem i am facing is that when i have an external monitor
connected to the laptop through the HDMI connector of the laptop,
Ubuntu does not boot and hangs on the splash screen. I have not found
any way to get logging on any kind.
Before i was running Ubuntu 18.04 and did not have any problems with
the monitor and HDMI cable. After boot is finished (without monitor
connected) inserting the HDMI cable works fine and i can use the
monitor and laptop screen without any problem.
I have installed the preferred nVida proprietary driver. Also it does
not matter if booting with nVidia selected or Intel selected.
