Public bug reported: Hello. So I have an issue with this exact model of Asus N552VW (Intel + GTX960M).
The issue is that any kernel higher than v6.4 will no longer boot the OS at all, just black screen and system freeze. I tried playing with secure boot settings, uefi, csm, all variables but nothing helped. The only way I was able to boot Ubuntu 22.04 and Ubuntu 24.04 was to install the very first versions from an archive and block the kernel 5.x for Ub 22 and for Ub 24 to enter it in safe mode and force any kernel lower or equal to 6.4 (as Ubuntu 24 lts will come by default with v6.8 if I recall correctly). The installations works as expected for both of them but 24 will just not boot at all and 22 will not boot after updating it to the latest version available. I don’t know exactly for sure what is causing this but safe mode will let Ubuntu boot, just not in normal mode. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Hello.
