I'm attempting to install Debian on my PC using a flash drive, but the installation keeps freezing at the point where it tries to detect network hardware. Just to clarify, I'm connected via Ethernet. My specs include an Intel 12700KF, MSI MPG Z790 Gaming Wifi II, and a Radeon 7700XT.
I've noticed that before the installer starts, there's a message about TPM and some codecs not being found, but I'm not sure if that's related to the freezing issue. I've even tried the auto install method, but it hangs without providing any error messages. Does anyone have any suggestions for this problem?

Before you do anything drastic, verify the integrity of your install media. If that checks out, you could consider trying a different method of installation, like a net install. It might also help to use a different USB drive altogether. Let me know if you have any questions about the installation process!
It sounds like your installation media might be the culprit. You could try bypassing the network hardware detection if possible, but I know that can be tricky if it’s freezing. Have you considered using a different flash drive or creating the installation media again? Sometimes issues arise from the method or tool you used to write the image.
