Maybe your drive is not formatted correctly, or you have a broken USB port. You might want to try remaking the install media or trying a new flash drive. You can try a BIOS update, but you will need a USB stick working to do that. Good luck!

Make sure you chose Uefi in the bios and not legacy. That might be the problem. If you cant find it just let it download the windows ISO without flashing and then flash it with a program like rufus. Lastly knowing the motherboard would be helpful 

Ping me or quote me in replys ples. Anyone talking about AiOs and trashing people for a front mount watch THIS JAYZTWOCENTS VID because u 99.9% skipped or didnt understand the Gamers Nexus vid...
