Hi, i recently installed Qubes OS on my Legion 5 17ACH6H. At first startup system booted up normally and it even let me to do some first-boot setup (such as which template to use, etc).
It started okay, but afterwards it crashed and rebooted. After that, each time i boot to Qubes OS it starts, shows mouse cursor, opens initial setup (which i did last time), freezes and crashes, then reboots. I cant acces terminal throught ctrl+alt+f2 e.g., I am thinking problem could lie in the GPU - NVidia RTX 3060, but i have switchable graphics with AMD Radeon

Try reinstalling Qubes OS again and see if you are able to reproduce the crash at the same step.
Reinstalled, same thing. Flash drive is okay, media was tested.

Okay, try switching to AMD Radeon integrated graphics through the BIOS, save the changes, then start Qubes OS afterwards.
My bios allows me to only choose from discrete graphics or swichable, i decided to disable dGPU in the grub for the boot like this nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau modprobe.blacklist=nouveau
However still having the same error.

Also tried modifying grub to disable nvidia card using acpi and tried nomodeset, no changes

Is it possible to install Qubes OS on a different hard drive instead?
No, i unfortunately have only this one, though i am planning to buy an external SSD in future, but not in the nearest one.
