I sloved this issue after a HDD change.
The original disk broke so i swapped it for a Skylake compatible NVMe M.2 SSD.
Turns out, the BIOS will treat this drive slightly differently and there for
qubes will as well.
Either it's because the UUID keeps changing each boot and Qubes old core won't
deal with this at all, or it's because it's simply the driver that's so "new"
Fedora doesn't support it.
Either way, this gave me the looping boot option menu when booting.

Here's also the BIOS settings I've changed since factory defaults:
Config -> Display:
Total Graphics Memory = 512Mb
Graphics Device = Discrete
Security -> Virtualization:
Virt. Tech. = Enabled
VT-d = Enabled
Security -> Secure Boot :
Secure Boot = Disabled
Startup -> UEFI/Legacy Boot:
Mode = Both
UEFI/Leg. Prio = Legacy First
CSM Support = Yes

Additional note regarding **hybrid vs discrete** graphics.
You can without any "problems" use dedicated discrete graphics, what you might
need to do is to build qubes on your own and edit
./qubes-builder/qubes-src/installer-qubes-os/livecd-creator-qubes and on the
"kernel = " line, at the end add "nomodeset" and you should be fine.
Again, this won't give you the nvidia driver per default from what understand
but the graphics will be slightly sharper and snappier. It will also drain your
battery quicker but hey, quick graphics and no lag is kinda awesome.
