Installation Frustrations

Hi all,

I'm trying to dual boot with Win11, and I'm having an issue. I've tried both Bazzite and Pop OS, using both Rufus and Fedora at different points to make the live USB, but I run into the same issue with either distro. The device shows up on the boot list, and it starts to boot, but when I try selecting either the regular Bazzite option or Basic Graphics mode, the screen goes black and then kicks me back to bios. Similar thing when I boot Pop OS and select their "try out Pop" button. I have fTPM and Secure boot both turned off, so I'm not sure what else to try.

Some system stats if it'll help:
Mobo: Tuf X670e Wifi+
CPU: 7800x3D
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 2x16 DDR5 4800
nvme: Samsung 990 Pro 4tb (where I have Windows)
990 Pro 1tb (where I'd like to put the distro I decide on)
GPU: XFX 9070xt Mercury
