How do I fixed my borked BIOS screen?

I'm not sure when or how, but one day when I plugged my monitor back into the graphics port my BIOS screen looked like this.
Everything is fine when I boot into the OS.
I read that updating the BIOS could fix this, but to no avail.
Not sure what info would be relevant here but here are some basics:
- ROG Strix 760-I Gaming Wifi running Version 1825 BIOS
- Nvidia 4080
- Kubuntu
- Odessey G9 Ultrawide
EDIT - SOLUTION
Turns out the monitor was using display Port Version 1.4; when I switched this to v1.2 everything went back to normal
**EDIT - Thanks! **
I wanted to say thanks to everyone who put eyes on this and offered testing ideas, I'm glad I was able to stumbled to a solution that was prompoted by some of the ideas in here (even though the solution may not seem connected initially to anything stated).
What are the reasons behind the “no booby-traps” laws in the US? Are there similar laws in Canada?
It just seems so backwards that making a concrete mailbox can get you sued by a jerk that intentionally drove into it. I can understand banning pitfalls and other actual traps, but why passive defensive deterrents? After all, it's not like a bystander accidentally wandering onto your property is going to be injured by a random bolder you placed between your garden and the street.
(Edit): It seems I had a fundamental misunderstanding of US law. Thanks for indulging my curiosity!
Did I Just bricked my laptop?

Did I just bricked my laptop? I reinstalled ubuntu but after rebooting it would fall into bootloop with a "reset system" message. In the tutorial I read that sometimes it helps to enable secure boot, well I did that but now I can't get into BIOS/UEFI at all. Laptop: lenovo thinkpad x1 carbon 3rd Anyone could help somehow?
Why do a lot of people put a ground symbol (⏚) in their username (esp on Mastodon)?
Solved: It's used by members and/or supporters of Les Soulèvements de la Terre, a French radical ecologist movement disbanded by Macron's right-wing government.
