Detailed description：

Hello fellows.

I bought the ZenBook about six months ago. I first tried Feren OS.

On every startup without being connected to power it loaded the GUI and then freezed. I could move Mouse, but couldn't hit any button.

Then I tried Ubuntu itself. Same issue but instead of loading all GUI parts it only showed me the background.

Now i use POP!_OS (also Ubuntu derivative) same issue but it only shows grey on screen, sometimes interrupted by black for a second.

This happens only when booting WITHOUT power connection. If I boot connected to power it all works fine. Also if I remove power connection after booting it all works fine. It's just on booting.

Can anyone relate to the problem or has a fix?

Greetings!

I fixed it by adding "iommu=soft" to the kernel boot options.
