I am trying to install windows 11 for the 5th time today, and every single time I get to the update menu with the progress bar that has 3 parts. My screen goes blank. I have tried to install windows 5 times in the span of 3 hours and I can't get it to work. Can someone please help me.

Edit #1:

My monitor is power cycling again. Can someone please help

Edit #2:
My pc just rebooted got to the windows throbber(spinning line in shape of circle thingy), and no display after that

Edit #3:
Cleared CMOS and tool says I don't meet minimum requirements. That is wrong because my system is running 1.25tb, Radeon RX6650xt and a Ryzen 5 5600g which all exceed Windows 11 requirements.

Edit #4:

Restarted installation process, thinking of switching to Linux mint considering my experience with Windows today.

Edit #5:
Monitor started power cycling again when it reached update screen can someone please find a solution asap because I don't want to do this all day

Edit #6:
Computer won't even POST. What a wonderful 24 hours trying to fix the stupid small issue.

    Honestly I have given up on Windows. I really had some hope for Windows actually working, but that was ruined by the horrible install tool Microsoft made. I have truly lost hope in companies like Microsoft, who have almost absolute control over sectors.

    Dear Not good Cybersecurity guy

    Thank you for posting in the Microsoft community.

    Hello! It sounds like you're experiencing very frustrating issues with your Windows 11 installation, especially as it relates to black screens, reboot loops, and failure to boot. Here are some possible causes and solutions that we recommend trying step-by-step.

    Problem Analysis

    1. Hardware compatibility issues:

    Although your hardware configuration (Ryzen 5 5600G and Radeon RX 6650 XT) meets the minimum requirements for Windows 11, there may be some hardware or driver compatibility issues, especially with new hardware.

    Graphics card drivers may trigger a black screen during installation.

    1. BIOS setup issues:

    Clearing the CMOS may result in incorrect BIOS settings, such as TPM and Secure Boot not being enabled, causing the installation to fail.

    1. Installation media issues:

    The installation media (USB boot disk) may have problems, resulting in installation failure or file corruption. 4.

    1. Display output issues:

    If you are using a discrete graphics card (Radeon RX 6650 XT), this may cause display output switching issues during installation.

    Solution

    Check the BIOS settings

    Before installing Windows 11, make sure your BIOS settings are correct:

    1. Clear the CMOS and reset the BIOS:

    Press Del or F2 to enter BIOS when you start your computer.

    Make sure the following settings are enabled:

    TPM (Trusted Platform Module): Enable fTPM (AMD platform) in BIOS.

    Secure Boot: Make sure Secure Boot is enabled.

    UEFI Mode: Set the boot mode to UEFI and disable Legacy mode.

    Save the settings and exit.

    Check the graphics card output:

    If you are using a discrete graphics card (Radeon RX 6650 XT), try connecting the monitor to the motherboard's graphics output port (integrated graphics).

    This will avoid a black screen if the discrete graphics card driver is not loaded during installation.

    Trying to install with integrated graphics

    Your Ryzen 5 5600G comes with Radeon Vega integrated graphics, it is recommended that you remove the discrete graphics card (Radeon RX 6650 XT) during the installation process and complete the installation using only the integrated graphics card. Insert the discrete graphics card back in after the installation is complete.

    Consider installing Windows 10

    If the problem is still not resolved, consider installing Windows 10 to confirm that the hardware is working properly. Complete the installation before trying to upgrade to Windows 11.

    Best Wish
