Is there nothing else i should do?

You could try creating a log for the boot process.
First take a look at if it logs more than the actual recovery boot for you.

Code:

sudo journalctl --list-boots

If it only lists one then you need to start logging persistently.

Edit with root rights /etc/systemd/journald.conf and uncomment Storage=auto and change it to

Code:

Storage=persistent

Create the logging directory if not exists by executing

Code:

sudo mkdir -p /var/log/journal

Set correct permissions for that folder

Code:

sudo systemd-tmpfiles --create --prefix /var/log/journal

and finally restart.
This enabled boot logging.
So first take a look at the watch (important to identify the boot log later on to grab the correct log).
Boot like you normally would (to the issue with the black screen).

If it is stuck in there press shutdown button and wait until it shuts down (I hope that works)
Start after up to 5 minutes (again take a look at the watch for better identifying the non working boot) and boot up with the recovery option to have your desktop back.
Execute

Code:

sudo journalctl --list-boots

Take a good look and identify the number (usually -1, 0 and so on) at the beginning with the time and date of your faulty boot.
Then finally log the boot stuff with

Code:

sudo journalctl --boot=INSERT_BOOT_NUMBER_HERE_INSTEAD_OF_TEXT > myFaultyBoot.log

This should give you a myFaultyBoot.log file in your home directory that you can attach here or paste somewhere and give us the link to take a look at.
Hopefully there is an error or info message that can tell us what is going on.
