This looks like it could be a kernel/framebuffer bug which I just saw again on Monday with a slightly newer PCI GeForce and 12.2 but Nouveau instead NVidia driver. Please beg, borrow, steal or buy a DVI cable to substitute at least long enough to see if the behavior changes. If it's the same problem I saw, there might not be any other fix or workaround short of a different gfxcard. I didn't try too hard. Instead I replaced the card, which I was only trying out anyway. It was available here to try in the first place because I had removed it from another system where it was also producing out of range black LCD screens using a VGA cable but not DVI cable. Other things to try: remove quiet from kernel cmdline change kernel cmdline from splash=silent to splash=verbose Which DE? Gnome? KDE? LXDE? ?????
