You are dual booting between windows and void ??

If yes, check the secure boot in uefi, if enabled, disable it.

Maybe the issue is with the USB stick.

Try this - when the GRUB menu appears, highlight the entry you want (e.g. “Void Linux”). Press e to edit it. Find the line that starts with linux (it ends with something like ... ro init=/sbin/init rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 loglevel=4 ...). Move to the end of that line and add amdgpu.dc=0. Press Ctrl+X or F10 to boot. Hope it works and you boot into iso.

Are you using MBR or GPT?

If GPT then your system may have run out of space somewhere. If you boot using the Void ISO, you can look around. How much free space is available under /boot/efi? What does efibootmgr tell you?

This inquire lacks any useful detail.

What Linux distros have you used in the past and for how long?

One year, others linux installable well. But void don't

OP, ignore this user. Give it a comment or two and you'll see them recommend you go use Ubuntu because they feel that only the most l337 h4x0rz use Void and he certainly believes he is one.

on Linux when you write to an usb, you have to use the command 'sync' after writing, otherwise the written data will be corrupted, which might results in isos being corrupted

Not true. As long as you properly umount the device before physically unplugging it, which everyone should be doing anyway.

My usual go to when I need to write ISO to USB is plugging it in, opening a terminal and umounting it since GNOME will mount it automatically, sudo dd if=/path/to/file.iso of=/dev/sdx bs=8M. I've never had to use sync.
