Garuda Gaming Edition live usb black screen before grub

Hello everyone im having an issue installing Garuda Gaming edition. when i try and load garuda as uefi i get a black screen and it cant even make it to grub just a black screen, but if i boot it into non-uefi it boots fine but has issues with dual booting windows. ive ran garuda before and have dual booted with windows, but it seems somehow something has changed in the year i wasnt running garuda. does someone have an idea of what i can do.

edit: ive tried making live usb with rufus, unetbootin and gnome-disk utility

Try also Ventoy.

garuda-inxi from live ISO, please.
And you know, no dual boot support :slight_smile: , search in forum for help.

Booted in UEFI mode, hit enter right away as you may be unable to see GRUB but GRUB may be still working.
Did you disable secure boot and fast boot on UEFI?

thanks for the tip, i rechecked even though i did change it, my bios didn't save it, or i left the bios without saving but disabling secure boot definitely worked
