It's a driver issue that I've had in the past as well.
Try the nouveau driver and the proprietary driver and see which works better for you.

(This guide covers both installing Nvidia drivers and the nouveau driver. I recommend trying both as for some people, one works better than others-- less crashing, less glitches, etc. )

What is your gpu and graphic driver? It's possible that the driver isn't working or misconfigured. Also could be your monitor sending the wrong EDID info or not sending any at all. On Xorg one can create a custom resolution with randr, no idea on Wayland.
The gpu is a gtx1050ti i tried installing the driver with this guide - https://www.if-not-true-then-false.co... . the driver version installed was 390.67 but i had to uninstall it again as during boot up it would hang at started gnome display manager. how would i go about seeing if my monitor is sending wrong EDID? thanks
@tom342423 I guess the issue is not EDID but the gpu driver. Try reinstalling it after editing
/etc/gdm/custom.com. Find the line withWaylandEnable=falseand uncomment it. Then after rebooting choose Gnome on Xorg (there's a little gear icon in gdm). Let us know it it works.i edited the custom .conf file but couldnt find the option for choose gnome on xorg. i tried reinstalling the driver anyway but its still freezing at the same point. where would i find gear icon to choose gnome? thanks again
When (if)
gdmstarts there's an icon just below the password line-input. The problem though is that gdm isn't even starting. You can boot in text mode, when grub menu shows up press e and move the cursor at the end of the line starting with linux16 or linuxefi and add 3 at the end. Ctrl-x will start booting in text-mode. You'll see a login prompt, enter your username and password. At thebashprompt type startx followd by return. Your Gnome session should start, if instead there's a problem with Xorg you will see a bunch of errors to post here.
