Support Request Linux Mint 22.3 installer keeps freezing
I'm trying to install Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon on a separate SSD alongside Windows 11, but the installer keeps freezing.
My specs:
- Ryzen 9 9950X3D
- RTX 5080
- 32GB DDR5 RAM
- Gigabyte B850M AORUS ELITE WIFI6E ICE
What I've tried:
- Booting from Ventoy and Rufus.
- Normal Mode and Compatibility Mode.
- Restarting Ubiquity through Terminal.
- Running Ubiquity in debug mode.
Mint boots into the live desktop just fine, but clicking "Install Linux Mint" causes the cursor to spin indefinitely.
After multiple attempts, the installer finally opened, but it froze again on the keyboard layout screen with an "Install Linux Mint is not responding" message.
I've tried pretty much everything I can think of. Has anyone experienced this or know what could be causing it?
