Richard answered this question better than I would have.

I interpreted 'boot to bios' as meaning you could boot via mbr.  I must
have been wrong.  If you edit the kernel boot line, and remove rhgb and
quiet, what messages show up when you are trying to boot?  The error
should be near the end of the messages, and left on your screen when
the boot fails.

If you have uefi firmware, can you use the uefi boot menu to boot the
installed system?  It should be an entry something like "uefi fedora
30".  If you can, run a 
dnf distro-sync
and a 
dnf update
and a 
dnf reinstall shim-x64
to put your system in a consistent, current state and try booting again.
If it still doesn't boot, look at the file
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg.  Is the boot stanza correct?  If not,
look at /etc/default/grub to be sure that the default options are
acceptable, and run
grub2-mkconfig -o grub.cfg 
in the /boot/efi/EFI/fedora directory, and then try booting again.
