Hello everyone. I'm trying to install Pop OS from a USB flashdrive, but once it starts booting, everything gets stuck at the screen I sent in attachments. I've tried using different flashdrives, same result. I've tried using both Etcher and Rufus and same result. I'm using the Nvidia ISO, I've tried both the latest and LTS version (with correct checksum), and same result for both. I have also tried booting a normal Ubuntu 20.04 on the same flashdrive, which worked fine, so the issue seams specific to Pop OS. I have asked for help on the popOS subreddit and on the Pop OS chat, but none of them helped. Here's my computer's config in case that's relevent : Motherboard : MSI B350 Mate GPU : RTX 3060 CPU : Ryzen 3 1200 (i know that's a huge bottleneck, i plan on upgrading) Memory : 24 GB at 3000 Mhz I believe ? If anyone of you can help me, i'd be super happy Smile

Consider removing the two 4GB drives and installing 16GB instead. It might not work, but it could help confirm the issue.

I've never worked with a 4GB card. I've also tested a 16GB version.

Just to clarify, you meant the USB stick. Got it. I'm proceeding now.

It seems to have a chance of working now, though I'm uncertain. I'll re-flash the USB and attempt it again.

No, another try didn't help, I'm still in the same spot.

Do you have an extra USB stick available? You can use it to install Passmark's MEMtest and perform a full system check.
