Unable to install - Pc Freeze
questionhardware-compat
bazzite and fedora kinoite, and cachyos all have the same issue on my desktop. they wont install.
selecting boot USB in bios, i can get to GRUB fine. apon hitting enter on the "Install..." line, results in almost immediately the entire pc freezes. it doesnt matter if its bazzite, bazzite graphics mode, or if its a boot usb via usb, or a boot ssd via sata. the freeze always coincides with my kbd/mse leds turning off and back on as if its a usb/storage controller reinitialising.
When frozen, TTY keyboard inputs do nothing, there is no blinking cursor, and i have left for 30mins with no progress. only option is force power off and try something else.
Ive tried more than one usb, more than one ISO

64GB CORSAID DDR4 3600

I have an ex-win11 4tb nvme drive waiting to be wiped and installed to.
I spent some time searching forums and this discord, however the fixes for most having similar issues has been
EDIT: Bazzite seems to work the worst, as my kbd/mse will power off after hitting enter on "Install..." and never turn back on
