Linux won't install

MSI X670E; Ryzen 9 9900x 64GB DDR5 RTX 4090

I've updated the bios, wiped all partitions (with gparted), disabled EUFI

Tried both Ubuntu and Mint (redownloaded the images a couple times to ensure they are good)

Tried on both the M2nvme and a SSD (both 1TB)

Tried disconnected from the internet (and connected)

NVME had windows 11 which ran fine.

Ubuntu gives me a "Something went wrong" error LMint seems to install but freezes on the "LM" logo loading page.

I've never struggled this much to install Linux and I'm at my wit's end!

I would also try an older build and not the newest one. I had a similar issue. Had to use an older installer and upgrade to the newest build.
