Stuck on logo screen
My computer gave an error while installing windows. Then I did a recovery and the computer got stuck on the Dell logo screen. It does not enter the bios or boot menu, there is only the logo. Any help would be great. Sorry for bad English I had to use translation.

Dual boot - It happened while installing Windows 10 next to Manajaro, now the PC is stuck on the logo screen and does not open.
When I remove the M.2 SDD, I can enter the bios and via live USB. I think my ssd is corrupted during the windows installation.

It's likely the UEFI partition on the drive is bad. Wipe the drive clean and do a clean install of your primary OS (you can use Darik's boot and nuke to clear the drive).

@Cezannetr
While I agree with @ejn63 about clearing it.
As you use Manjaro I believe that you may be able to mount the EFI area and clear that initially.
HOWEVER Manjaro state they don't support Secure Boot and W10 wants that.
So .......
Wipe the whole lot. Start with W10 Secure Boot and do a SHIM load when installing Manjaro (not easy either).
Sometimes a Distro will use GrUB and create a few megabytes of space for an MBR type boot area.
OpenSuSE certainly did for me.
OR
Re-install Manjaro first, with a 250+ MB EFI area, a 5 ish MB MBR area with a GPT file system, laying out a place for W10 to reside.
Much like my 7 MB partition 8.
BUT you will have a conflict at some point.
Bad news I know, but what you want to achieve is possible, so please try step by step.
