How to Fix: BIOS screen goes black then restarts after trying to boot Windows 11 Instal
BIOS screen goes black and restarts during Windows 11 installation from USB
The BIOS screen going black and restarting after trying to boot Windows 11 installation from USB can be caused by a faulty or corrupted USB drive, or an issue with the system's UEFI firmware.
🛠️ Step-by-Step Verified Fix:
- Step 1: Check the USB drive - Verify that the USB drive is not damaged and has enough free space to hold the Windows 11 installation files. Try using a different USB drive to rule out any issues with the current one.
- Step 2: Update UEFI firmware - Ensure that the system's UEFI firmware is up-to-date, as an outdated firmware can cause compatibility issues with the USB drive. Check with the manufacturer for any available updates and follow their instructions to update the firmware.
- Step 3: Disable Secure Boot and Fast Boot - Temporarily disable Secure Boot and Fast Boot in the UEFI settings to allow the system to boot from the USB drive. Save the changes and restart the system. Then, enable these features again after the installation is complete.
