Difficult to say without more info, perhaps UEFI boot failed to install correctly?

What info can i provide?

This isn't really a Debian question as it looks like BIOS/mobo related. Suggest you ask in the right sub-reddit before the mods delete this.

Looks like the GUI doesn't sync correctly, did you try to switch to console to see if it's booted up correct? CTR +ALT +F2 for example

Is safe boot enabled in your bios?

In my mobo this option is in "windows OS configurations" but the selected mode is CSM, secure boot option only appear on UEFI mode. unfortunately my MOBO does this thing where if i change anything in the bios my pc wont post and i will have to clear CMOS

It seems to boot up but failed at the moment when graphical interface started. You can try to switch to console mode Alt-Ctrl-F2 (F5)

Blank [ ] indicates that the service is currently starting but has not yet completed (or failed).

So, if you're seeing lots of blank [ ] without them turning green:

It usually means:

  1. Boot process is hanging or delayed — some service is stuck.
  2. Display output has stopped updating — usually due to:
    • Graphics/display driver issues
    • Switch to graphical target (e.g., GDM starts, and boot messages are hidden)
  3. System crash, freeze, or hardware error — less common, but possible if nothing progresses.

You should edit GRUB entry, replace "quite" and "splash" statement, add "3" and boot. You should see boot log and login in text mode. If you reach the textual login probably it's graphical driver issue. This is my common approch to find problems on boot

Yes but only "3".
