arch linux not booting up after installation. Issue with grub

Question

I was currently trying to install arch linux as dual boot in my laptop (i3).

I completed the steps (everything installed normally) but during reboot I am getting this error

Here are the things I checked:

My windows is working fine and i am able to boot into it(not through grub).
Grub did not detect my windows boot manager but only my arch linux. Both arch and my windows are being installed in same ssd with two partitions (both uefi).
I had checked this command ls /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/ and it did give me an output
I checked with this documentation https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide and most commands seem to be same except some optional commands

I have no idea how to fix this. I have formatted the os twice and the same error is happening.

So I assume the Arch installation medium booted fine? Maybe you forgot to install intel-ucode / amd-ucode, which happen to be required for your machine to boot? (Can't completely rule out that it is due to some new regression in the latest kernel though.) — Tom Yan, Commented Sep 16, 2023 at 12:51
Also, maybe you should see if booting with nomodeset makes a difference, just in case the error printed is actually irrelevant. — Tom Yan, Commented Sep 16, 2023 at 12:53
@TomYan Yes arch installation booted fine. I have installed intel-ucode by command pacman -S intel-ucode — JustaNobody, Commented Sep 17, 2023 at 16:59
What is nomodeset? Is it like an alternative to grub or addition to grub? I read the documentation but couldn't understand it — JustaNobody, Commented Sep 17, 2023 at 17:02
Just found out i forgot to update grub config. Now it is booting up without error — JustaNobody, Commented Sep 17, 2023 at 20:01

Did you install intel-ucode package and add it to your grub config ?

If yes you can try to disable mce by adding mce=off to your grub config to see if you get another error message while trying to boot.
