Alright, so I rehooked up my laptop to my HDMI monitor (24 inch 1920x1080) and tried the dart=0 parameter as well as changed the ssdt.aml to the other one which was dualLink for larger screens and now it seems to get past the indefinite loop and now shows a gray screen, no cursor or anything though. a smooth Gray screen on my hdmi monitor while my laptop screen (1366x768) shows lines of gray or something.
At least we made progress so that's good
, thanks, but now I'm not sure how to fix this issue. hmm
Update: If I were to use the original ssdt (not the dual link), then instead of the gray screen on my laptop, it shows a small white rectangle at the top left of the black sceen
