Cannot Install

Hello, I am attempting to install Bazzite on my desktop PC from a USB drive onto an external NVMe.

My PC is running a Ryzen 7 5800X3D CPU and a Nvidia 4080 Ti GPU, with 32gb of RAM. I disabled CSM mode and Secure Boot, and Fast Boot was already disabled. Bitlocker is also not enabled.

I downloaded Bazzite from the site, selecting Desktop > Modern GPU: Nvidia > KDE > No. I have used both Rufus and Etcher to create a bootable drive with the image downloaded.

I reboot, hit F12, and select the drive. I get the initial Grub screen, which gives me the option to Install or Test & Install. In both cases, some text quickly scrolls by, and then everything goes black. No text, no interface, nada. I wait and eventually my monitor auto-shuts off. In the end, I have to manually reboot my PC.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
