No output when booting into the installer media

So, I really want to try Garuda Linux.

I have been using EndeavouOS for a bit, but I am still very new.

My goal is to dual boot with Windows, since I need to keep that because of school.
I know about VMs, but I don’t think the performance would be good enough on my hardware (RYZEN 5 5600H and GTX 1650 laptop).

I downloaded the Dragonized Gaming edition and made my media, first tried rufus, then etcher.
Neither worked, I select it from the boot menu and I get a single flash of the underscore cursor, then nothing, just black.
I tried the Mokka edition too (only used etcher with that) but I got totally same output.

I tried looking at the forums but all I found was already made not booting Garyda installs.

What do I do? Did I miss anything?

Thanks

Do you mean the BIOS boot menu or GRUB menu?
BIOS settings correct? Secure Boot off, Fastboot off, AHCI on?
Have you tried this:

Yes, probably BIOS boot menu (the one I get by pressing F12).

Secure Boot is off, didn’t even find Fast boot (fast startup in Wi dows is off) and AHCI is on.

Thanks for the suggestion, will look into it.

Okay, so for anyone with a similar issue, use Ventoy in grub2 mode.

Thanks a lot!
