After installing Ubuntu, computer becomes stuck on HP logo during boot

I am using an HP Pavilion 20 All-In-One

I used a USB to install Ubuntu and went through the basic start-up options. I selected to finish installing Ubuntu while erasing everything else on my computer. After Ubuntu finished installing I was given a message saying that I needed to restart my computer for everything to go into effect. Now everytime I restart my computer it gets stuck on the HP logo and refuses to boot.

Things I've Already Tried- Unplugged the computer and held down the power button for 15 seconds - Ran a DPS Self-Test and received a completion code of 0 - Tried booting from the USB again

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I've tried nearly every solution I can find online.

One thing to test is if the hang is a GUI-loading issue or actual boot issue.

When it hangs press "CTRL-Alt-F2" and see if you get the black console login page. If you can login via text mode but still have the hang on CTRL-Alt-F1 then I have the same issue and have a workaround:

On boot select "Advanced options for Ubuntu" Next select the line that has "(recovery mode)" Then select "resume boot"

If that works then it's probably a modeset issue in grub.

This tutorial has some thing to try.

What worked for me was adding "nomodeset" to the grub linux boot options.

Edit: Nomodeset interferes with power suspend if you have an AMDGPU. Went back to not using nomodeset and instead using CTRL-ATL-F2, logging in with a text screen and then running startx
