Black screen after choosing usb for booting

Hi, so i tried installing garuda, however when i choose the usb during the boot process. Nothing happens, black screen. The strange thing is that the usb activity indicator doesn’t flash, so no data is getting read/written on the usb. (I have nvidia optimus if this info can help)

Graphics card: NVIDIA 3050 laptop GPU
Laptop manufacter: ASUS
CPU: 11th Gen Inter(R) Core​:trade_mark: i7-11370H @ 3.30GHz
RAM: 8GB

Edit: I am using ventoy

Please do a forum search, this issue has been discussed and solved several times.
Short version, install Ventoy on the USB stick and when booting the ISO image use grub2.
Welcome too.

Issue is i already have ventoy installed on the usb. The latest version and tested with other distros.

Will do a research tho. Thanks.

Did you boot the live image with grub2?

I don’t even get to the menu to choose grub or grub2. Black screen straight up after choosing usb as boot from bios.

Check sha256sum on USB-stick, please.
Try other stick too.

Which DE you like to install?

Yeah the iso was corrupted. Thanks to everyone for the answers though.
