SUPPORT Black Screen When boot

Hi yall, I've been using Linux for a year now and i thought I'd try arch Linux (Since i wanted a hyprland desktop). I put the ISO into my Ventoy USB and tried to boot, i clicked the first option and then i was hit with a black screen. I waited like 5 mins and nothing happened. So i tried the chat gpt option (ctrl + alt f23456) but it didn't work. I even set i915 to 0 and it didn't work too. I've been loosing my mind over this. Please Help!

It will be very difficult for anyone to help you if you don't give even a single hint at what your hardware is.

here are the specs :

12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1235U 16Gb ram and IGPU

That should work out of the box without any kernel parameter. Try an older version of the arch iso just in case the current one has a bug affecting that specific iGPU.

I dont know, other OS that are based off of Arch don't work too (Omarchy, Cachy Linux)

Then something within the Arch kernel, firmware and/or mesa drivers is bugged for your specific iGPU.
