Trouble with installing PikaOS

Hey, guys!

I tried installing PikaOS after using Windows for years. I installed the standard GNOME ISO file and flashed it onto a USB drive, which works correctly. After I boot from the USB and install PikaOS on a drive (NVME M.2), I restart my PC and start the setup with the wizard. After that is finished, and it tells me to reboot my PC, that's when the problems start. On my most recent try to install, I got pretty far. The system loads to the point where I get to the login page, but I don't even get to the part where I would need to enter my password, because it hard freezes completely. I can't move my mouse, can't type anything, basically, what I said, a hard freeze. After I restart my PC, everything goes wrong. I get no beep from my motherboard's buzzer, and absolutely NO display. Nothing. I have been trying to figure it out all this time, and it is currently 1.15 am. I am going to sleep with the hope of someone coming to my rescue.

(I have an Nvidia 1080, an Intel Core i5-11400F, a Gigabyte H510M, 16GBs of RAM)
