So I have just finished building my PC, and thankfully it turned on ok, and boots into the bios just fine. However, when I plug in my USB drive, containing the windows 11 installation (I got it from the windows 11 installation media), and then select it in the boot menu (F11), the screen simply turns black, but the PC stays on. I have TPM 2.0 enabled, UFEI enabled, SATA set to AHCI. I have tried it with Secure Boot enabled and disabled. My specs are:
AMD Ryzen 5 5600
MSI B550M Pro VDH Wifi
Gigabyte RTX 3060ti
32GB DDR4 ram
1TB Crucial P3 Plus M.2 NVME
This is really confusing me, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply,
The bios version is 7C95v2F
If it helps, the pen drive I was using was in MBR format, but I re-downloaded the installation files and used the GPT format, however, still no luck.
Edit: I have just tried again (with the exact same USB device with the exact same files, just 6 hours later), and now when I select the USB to install from it simply moves the selection screen to the left every time I click enter on the USB. No black screen, so I can still re-enter the bios.

Hii
I understand, Strange installation failure, try to do the following, create another boot for Windows 10 with media creation tools and try to install 10 and then upgrade directly to 11 as soon as you finish installing.

Thank you for the reply.
I updated the bios, and did the steps that you said, but now I am getting a 0xc0000001 error from windows. I can't find aything online about this happening with an installation of windows, only when windows is already installed, so the solutions dont work for me. When I turn on the PC, a "Pro Series" watermark appears for around a minute, and then the eror occurs.
One thing that might help is when I went to eject the USB drive it said it is in use by another program. I couldnt find the program that was using it so I ejected it from the file explorer, which worked, but perhaps some of the files were corrupted?
Any ideas?
Hii
Update your Bios using the link below for the latest version.
https://download.msi.com/bos_exe/mb/7C95v2G.zip
Keep the unit configured via UEFI > with Secure Boot disabled and see if Resize BAr is active and disable the name should be Above 4g in the bios.
After completing the options, try reinstalling again.
