Skips BIOS after update

I upgraded my gtx 1660 to an RX7600 yesterday, the system started up successfully and prompted me to install a few updates.
After installing them, during reboot I stopped seeing the motherboard logo, GRUB bootloader menu. the F2, F12, delete buttons also don’t take me to BIOS.
I have an SSD with another OS, and removing the fedora disk does not boot into the other OS. Tips like “reset BIOS” do not help.
Everything was fine before the update.

Did you have the nvidia drivers installed?
If so did you remove them before removing the gtx 1660?
Does the grub menu allow entering the bios setup menu? (that usually is the last option on the menu)

Yes, I uninstalled unnecessary drivers, but it didn’t help.
I also tried systemctl reboot --firmware-setup, but I still only see a black screen.
The grub menu is also inaccessible. The image only appears when fedora boots

Unless the PCI IDs match the drivers will never be loaded.
This is not Windows sad world.

I have an AMP GPU and so that I can help here to support NVIDIA users I have the rpmfusion drivers installed with no impact.

Can you get into the BIOS?
Can you boot a USB live image?

here’s output:

No, i can not get into BIOS or live image. Instead it only black screen

Does the system have an iGPU or only the dGPU? It may be helpful to provide the output from inxi -Fzxx (as pre-formatted text) so we can see details like BIOS maker and version, and which driver modules are being used. Some BIOS’s have a disable graphics switch, so you may need Howto Fix a Disabled Graphics-Card.

OK, I’ll try it, but I’m afraid that if I change the boot sequence, it will stay that way forever and I’ll lose Fedora, which can boot without problems.
As I said, I removed the physical disk on which Fedora is installed. In my BIOS, windows was in second place in the boot sequence, and presumably it should have booted after I removed the Fedora disk, but it didn’t.

You may need to explicitly pick Windows in the BIOS to have it boot up.

here’s output frominxi -Fzxx:

Where are all the “12” coming from?
Can you fix that problem please?
You should be able to run the command in a terminal and copy and paste with all formatting in place.

Well, I ran sudo efibootmgr -n 0000 && sync && reboot to reboot in Windows only once and I can tell things are bad, because I see a black screen instead of Windows

Strangely, the first time I ran it, there was no formatting and there was this “12”.

I was also hoping I could solve the problem by reconecting the CMOS battery, but that didn’t work. well, I’ll try again

What happens when you pull both drives?

Almost every bios has the ability to open a bios boot menu where you can select the different bootable devices. Mine is F11, but some may be F12, F10, etc.

Using that method avoids the need to change the boot order, remove drives, etc.

yeah, i know. mine is F12, but instead it black screen

After a few tests, I came to the conclusion that when I turn on the computer, for some reason the video card does not show an image, although the grub menu itself is present (I recognized it literally blindly).

The problem turned out to be the compatibility of the monitor and video card. Thanks to everyone who tried to help
