I'm trying to set up a fresh installation of Windows 11 on my new computer, but I'm hitting a wall. I created a bootable ISO using Rufus, and I can start the installer, but after a bit, the screen goes black and it loops back to the installation screen. It's been incredibly frustrating, and I've spent hours searching for a solution. I've tried tinkering with the BIOS settings, but I don't have many options available. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do?

It sounds like you might need to adjust your boot order in the BIOS. Make sure the disk is at the top so it prioritizes that over the USB drive. Alternatively, try removing the USB stick when your computer reboots after starting the installer.
Could you share your system specs? It might help us diagnose the issue better. Sometimes certain hardware can be tricky with Windows installations.
Sure! I've got a Ryzen 5 5600 and an RTX 3060.
If you have a spare hard drive, it might be worth trying to install Windows on that instead. Sometimes the drive you're using can have issues, especially if it's older or not fully compatible.
I wish I had a spare! I'm stuck with what I've got.
I tried that, but it still loops back to the installer. Any other ideas?
