Pc keep restarting over and over after booting

Post by _user »

Hi guys,
I am quite desperate. I am trying to install linux on my computer, but when I want to start installation (selecting language and time in the very first steps) I suddenly see black screen and computer restart every single time. I have prepared booting usb before without any problems(for Raspian, LinuxMint, ..)

I used Rufus and Etcher for preparing booting usb. I tried Drauger, Linux Mint and Manjaro distros. I followed all recommended steps, disabled all tricky BIOS settings like secure boot option, CMS and so on. I tried two different USB sticks.

I am still not able to finish or even start installation properly :/ Is there any BIOS setting which should be disabled, Is somethin wrong with win10, which are already installed on PC (win10 are installed on separate disc only for windows), could be problem with any hardware part (asus rog motherboard?) ?

Sorry, I am not a native speaker and I am not advanced linux user, I will be grateful for any help or hint.

Welcome to the forum.

So you have successfully installed LM on this same computer with a bootable USB that no longer exists, right?
And now you have another LM bootable USB that does not work past the language setting?

When you boot up the USB, the computer acts fine, right?
Which LM are you trying to install?
Where did you get the iso file?
Did you checksum it?
Is your computer a portable or a desktop system?

From what you describe I presume this same thing would happen with a LM 19.3 boot disk or anything else.

It kinda sounds like a hardware problem, but if so, what hardware? Maybe the hard disk?? Is there an OS on that hard disk right now?
