Issues logging in

Hi all, I recently made the switch to Linux not long ago, and have chosen kubuntu on my main desktop. I'm currently dealing with a complex issue that the internet can't seem to help me with. When I try to log in, I'm met with a "no signal" prompt from my monitor. After giving it about 10 minutes, nothing changes. I decided to try accessing the BIOS and GRUB menu to mess around there and have since learned that I cannot access either of those. I decided to try the terminal, hoping I could do something from there, but apparently my login details are incorrect when trying to access the terminal. This is incredibly frustrating and I am out of options. The only thing I can think of is a complete reinstall... But I can't access my BIOS! Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Do you have a PC or a laptop? What are the hardware specs?

Were you able to use Kubuntu at all before this issue, or was it always like this after installing it?
