I have used linux mint for a while but I decided to try manjaro on my pc for about 6 months, when I swapped back I got it on and stable for just long enough to move some of my files over and install csgo but when I tried to launch it the computer froze and after like 5-10 minutes I shut it down then it threw this error code that I had not seen before even when running the same system on the same os

It was fully up to date because I fixed that before I installed anything

As of now it puts up that code looks to me like(ucsi_ccg 0-0008: Failed to get FW build) to me but the only place I can find reference to that is a nixos forum post from 2 years ago saying it is a driver used in laptops for usb-c

But it throws that code then black screens and goes unresponsive either when I try and boot to the main HDD or when I try and boot to an external USB stick so I can't gain any access to the software to disable the package

I tried checking my BIOS settings and pulling the bios battery already and neither made any change

I did also find this: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/boot-error-ucsi-ccg-0-0008-failed-to-get-fw-build/27842

Which suggests you could work around the issue by editing your kernel cmdline to blacklist the module ucsi_ccg.

On systemd-boot you can do that temporarily to test it by spamming the e key as the system starts up. You'll eventually be able to edit the boot params.

Grub should have something similar but I don't really use that these days.

In theory adding this to your cmdline should block the module from loading: modprobe.blacklist=usci_ccg
