Linux Mint

Hi, everyone. I have just finished building a computer and wanted to put Linux Mint on it.

The parts list is as follows: CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X Motherboard: MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard Memory: Crucial Pro 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL38 Memory 2 TB NVME SSD

I followed the install guide and got it to boot once from a USB. Then, once it was hooked into the internet, it started putting in the codecs. As expected. When I tried to push the Linux install onto the SSD (which has nothing on it) it hung up and the computer shut down.

Now when I try to boot from the same USB I can't even get into the live session that I had been in before.

I get the following error:

Apologies for the poor picture quality as it has to be extracted from a video that I took of it happening. This error shows for an instant and then the computer shuts down.

I have disabled secure boot and tried again, same thing. I have flashed the install USB stick again after verifying the checksum, same thing. I have made a bootable USB with differing programs (Rufus and Etcher) and it happens again.

I have gone through some forum posts and seen people talking about trickery which I don't undersatnd involving changing filenames and such, but when I try to navigate the USB stick on my laptop (running W10) I cannot find the files they are talking about to even rename them.

I apologise for being the newbie who rushes in with a question, but I did try to look up solutions, and can't seem to do them on my own.

For those who said they went into advanced boot options and made the boot point to a particular file in their motherboard's bios, Click UEFI (the bios for my particular motherboard) does not seem to have this as an option.

I am at a bit of a loss. Any help would be appreciated dearly!

Thank you in advance.

I apologize for leaving the thread unanswered for a bit even though you were quick with helpful responses. I was hacking away at other solutions (in the sense of "madly trying everything" as I certainly haven't the technical knowhow to do any real hacking) and came upon this thread.

In case the thread dies in the future and some searcher finds this: What I had to do was change grubx64.efi's filename to "mmx64.efi", and off we went. Disabling secure boot probably helped also but that had already been set several attempts ago.

I had been busy with trying it, without much hope, but it worked.

I am now using the machine to write this very edit! I will leave the above as is in case others need the information.
