When trying to run Garuda I'm getting
Loading Linux linux-zen ...
error: out of memory
Loading initial ramdisk ...
error: you need to load the kernel first
If I switch my bios from UEFI to CSM it fixes this error, though I then loose thunderbolt functionality.BIOS (or UEFI-CSM). This option was grayed out and I was unable to select anything else.garuda-boot-repair and pacman -Syu linux-zen linux-zen-headers but no dice so far
Try something other than Rufus. A lot of folks in the forum have success with Ventoy .

Ventoy mentioned above works for me too.. I've also had good luck with Etcher for many distro installs including Garuda. balenaEtcher - Flash OS images to SD cards & USB drives (for Windows or Linux but I've only tested it on Windows)
For Linux I use 'Imagewriter' (SUSE Studio Imagewriter)

OT but you know balena etcher is on Linux too right?
edited... to make it more clear
Strange, I just tried Ventoy and balenaEtcher and I'm having the same problem. CSM works fine but UEFI causes the you need to load the kernel first error
Can you post output of garuda-inxi, either from your legacy-boot install or from the live environment, and also the output of lsblk -f.

CSM works fine but UEFI
You should look into your BIOS for some setting that may prevent this.
Anyway, there are several methods to properly create/flash an ISO in Windows:https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/USB_flash_installation_medium#In_Windows
IIRC, even Garuda downloader has a win version, but I have never used it, or know if it works today…

Hmm, looks just fine to me. There's gotta be something else in your BIOS menu like petsam suggested. Can you list out the other options you have in there, or maybe snap some photos and stick them in a photo bucket you can link to if you have something like that.
These are the changes the bios makes when I switch from CSM to UEFI
Which of those options change when you choose CSM mode?
EDIT:
You have secure boot disabled, right?
These are the changes going from UEFI to CSM
I kept secure boot disabled on both
You really don't need secure boot regardless of MicroSOURs claims. Should be one of the first things you turn off. Though you might end up having to reinstall Windows if you want to dual boot. As for CSM you should be able to turn that off without issue.
This might be a long shot, but can you try another kernel? LTS would be the first that comes to mind. You would have to:
Boot into the install with CSM mode
Install LTS kernel/headers from Garuda Assistant
Reboot to BIOS settings
Change back to proper UEFI
Select the LTS kernel at the grub screen and cross your fingers

What looks strange to me is that your /boot/efi partition is basically empty.Since your system is new, I'd try reinstalling in UEFI mode, using a Ventoy based USB.

I thought that was odd too (0% fs use on sda1). But even more strange would be if the installer set up an EFI partition if it wasn't going to be used. The EFI partition is also mounted--so there must be something in there, right?
@bullthistle what is the output of
sudo ls -l /boot/efi
and
sudo ls -l /boot/efi/EFI
Why don't you try disconnecting all other attached drives and then perform the Garuda installation.
We tell users to not expect support for multi boot setups with Windows precisely because of all the forum support time that is wasted for a non Garuda issue. I see you also have a drive with an HFS file system attached. Could you possibly throw any more monkey wrenches into the works?
Do you have your bios set to AHCI?
