Artix Does not Boot on BIOS Machines

Artix does not boot on BIOS machines and only boots on UEFI machines.
On BIOS machines live boot is stuck with black screen and nothing happens. In the top left corner one can only see something like this "GRUB" text. An that's it nothing happens.

Expected result: Artix booting on BIOS machines. Just like Kubuntu 20.04 or Fedora 32 or Debian 10.x.

My experience is different, both UEFI and BIOS machines booting perfectly well here, could it be a problem your end?

I've seen the problem once TBH, on a Fujutsu-Siemens C2D laptop. But in every other BIOS setup I've tested (at least 20 different cases), it works. Must be a GRUB quirk.

Some boards can be configured to boot from bios OR uefi.
On such boards the same stick  may be represented multiple times ie once as  uefi and once as bios since the  image contains both .
The default choice of the board will  probably be uefi.
Gigabyte B150-HD3P is one such board where this happens .
If your board has a boot-menu, it will show the same  stick  multiple times, once as bios and once as uefi,
