  • What are the boot settings in the BIOS? Have you tried using a different USB drive?

Check your USB key (probably erase and create a new fresh boot USB software). Based on my experience and external fonts (linux question) the USB is corrupted.

As suggested, I quote the external font:

11-13-2019 "I tried a different port, same thing, then I recreated the USB key using a different key (larger size as a matter of fact...) and BINGO! It works."
