I'm attempting to install a clean Windows 11 version but keep encountering that issue. I understand my USB drive functions well on other systems, so I've tried adjusting boot settings and fast boot options, yet the error persists. Please help.

Your USB flash drive needs to be listed first in the boot sequence.
Right now it's the M.2 drive at the top.
You're running in legacy mode.
Windows 11 demands UEFI configuration.
When setting up Windows, it's best to use only two RAM slots (slots A2 and B2).
Having more than two RAM modules can cause compatibility problems. It's important to stick to this during installation.

I would also recommend turning off all storage drives except the one you plan to install Windows on. It's not unusual for multiple drives to have the installer placing the boot partition on a different drive than the intended Windows drive.

I removed the two RAM sticks and am using only A2 and B2 as recommended. I'm still encountering the same issue, but I'm getting closer. I attempted to boot from the USB drive via UEFI, selecting SMI USB DISK 1100 Partition 1 (8GB) and SMI USB DISK 1100 (8GB), expecting Windows installation, but it keeps failing during setup.

I also tried that. After everything, I need to install two 2TB NVMe drives. However, I took out the second one before installation. I also have a brand new T500 drive, but it's causing the same issue during setup.

Uncertain if this is the correct approach, given the recent decline in Google search results, but it provided a solution when searching for that error code.
When using the Media Creation Tool, ensure you right-click and choose "Run as administrator."
You might also consider downloading the ISO and using Rufus to generate the USB installer.

Corrupted installation files or lost connection.
Generate fresh Windows 11 setup disks.
Use another USB storage device.
Switch to an alternative USB connection.

It turned out to be a poor Windows 11 installation media. Probably all my diskpart commands erased it. I made a fresh one and it functions now, but I still encounter strange menus vanishing and blue screens with page faults in nonpaged areas. The computer feels like it's cursed. Can this issue be resolved?

Transfer the dump files to a cloud platform and share the access links.
