I would use a more traditional boot method, perhaps a dvd on a usb interface maybe on the front usb2 interface, personally I have no problem with usb images either RH like or Debian like. but as I say I don’t use “the distro” Also make sure your usb device doesn’t have any “helper” windoze crap loader on it, (try another one).
Funnily enough make sure your monitor is a good old fashioned one, it might be booting but the modeset don’t work, is there a little blinking cursor in the top left corner or is the screen just totally blank?
