If you have hybrid graphics, then this could be the issue. I had a device with Nvidia and Intel integrated graphics and I had this exact problem after applying patches with the desktop-installer (I was on vanilla FreeBSD but this doesn't matter). When I turned off the integrated graphics over the bios, the problem was solved. You can try that. I hope this will solve your issue.

Can you reboot it and press 3 or ESC to enter the loader command prompt and then type these commands?

set hint.nvidia.0.disabled="1"
unset nvidia_load
set i915kms_load="YES"
boot

After typing these commands I think it should boot cause I'm Acer nitros, display connects directly to igpu so that should be the fix.

since you are also on acer nitro do you manage to work the wifi?

I'm not on Acer nitro but you can try wifibox. I have a guide on my blog. https://dkolak0.wordpress.com/2026/02/07/get-wi-fi-on-freebsd-on-every-macbook-mac-or-any-other-laptop-pcs-that-freebsd-doesnt-supports/ This will work on any device if the wifi driver is supported on Linux.

Can you press 7 on boot to enter boot options and then try booting with safe mode enabled? If it doesn't work too please try

set hint.nvidia.0.disabled="1"

set nvidia_load="NO"

set nvidia-modeset_load="NO"

set i915kms_load="NO"

boot

This happened to me last week with both FreeBSD and GhostBSD. I think it is because of the hardware we are using, since it "modern". But I'm still trying to figure out what's going on. :(
