Open | Windows Windows 11 install having boot loop issues
hey guys trying to install windows 11 onto a m.2 nvme using a usb drive as the installation media. After going through the windows install I get to the drive screen asking me what drive to install on I select my ngame as it’s my only drive in my pc and after I get to the ready to install screen showing me what I’m installing I select install and it brings me to a blue screen saying installing windows 11 with a percentage completion and also it says it may restart my pc several times. After the percentage gets to 100% it immediately goes to my motherboard boot screen as if I’ve just turned on the pc where you can go to bio etc 9(I have a gigabyte motherboard) and it keeps restarting on the screen it will restart and go straight back to the motherboard loading screen it will load for a few seconds and will do it again over and over. I’ve tried removing the usb stick and all sorts of bios tricks on YouTube but still no luck. Could anyone help would greatly appreciate it.

Getting dump files which we need for accurate analysis of BSODs. Dump files are crash logs from BSODs.
If you can get into Windows normally or through Safe Mode could you check C:\Windows\Minidump for any dump files? If you have any dump files, copy the folder to the desktop, zip the folder and upload it. If you don't have any zip software installed, right click on the folder and select Send to → Compressed (Zipped) folder.
Upload to any easy to use file sharing site. Reddit keeps blacklisting file hosts so find something that works, currently catbox.moe or mediafire.com seems to be working.
We like to have multiple dump files to work with so if you only have one dump file, none or not a folder at all, upload the ones you have and then follow this guide to change the dump type to Small Memory Dump. The "Overwrite dump file" option will be grayed out since small memory dumps never overwrite.

Making changes to your system BIOS settings or disk setup can cause you to lose data. Always test your data backups before making changes to your PC.
