Unable to get installation screen

I followed the instructions on how to copy the ISO image to flash drive and how to setup the BIOS to make it boot into Qubes OS installation.

But I’m getting a black screen after few messages, it stays like that. I’ve used Rufus and selected copy the ISO in dd mode option. I’ve disabled secure boot and select the flash drive to boot from. Just before the screen becomes black, I’m able to see many lines of text.

Means the USB stick is working and your BIOS settings also. So, any infos about your hardware (model? manufacturer? RAM?) and have you checked the HCL list?

CPU: Ryzen 3 3200G
RAM: 8GB DDR4
MB: Gigabyte B450M S2H
GPU: GTX 750 Ti

Could GPU be the problem?

Looks like it should work: Hardware compatibility list (HCL) | Qubes OS.

Then why am I getting a black screen instead of getting the menu? Are there any trouble shooting I can do? I’m not getting the errors in the link you mentioned earlier.
