It will not install.
Can soneone out there help me get started and troubleshoot?

Hi and welcome.
How did you try to install Mint, what version, what error message do you get?

I installed Mint on my Zenbook, and when I boot up, nothing happens.
There is some green text lines in the upper left hand corner on the display for a second, and it disappears before going blank.
The ONLY WAY it will boot, is on the flash drive connected, and going into the BIOS screen, and then exiting.
Can you check in the BIOS if Secure Boot is on?
Good morning.
No, secure boot is not on. I shut it off before Installation.
Before I started everything to install Mint, I followed the step by step instructions with prepping the USB drive, downloading Mint XIA and the other program to start the procedure.
Win10 was on the SSD, but my goal was to erase that and put Mint on my Zenbook to use 100% of the time with no dual boot.

From your description, Linux Mint is installed on the Zenbook, but the driver is incompatible with the GPU / display adapter / video card. Which GPU does the Zenbook have installed?
Hi. Thanks for the replies.
It’s an Intel CPU and IGPU in the Zenbook.
Core Ultra 5 Cpu.
Went into the BIOS.
Secure boot is disable.
Boot order is only the SSD, which is named UBUNTU.
Only will start Mint when the USB stick is inserted, and the F2 option is pressed to get into the BIOS, and then you save and exit to restart the computer with the MINT thumb drive inserted.
When the thumb drive is removed nothing happens.
Mint does not start.

I would recommend switching to a virtual terminal with Ctrl + Alt + F1, and then reading syslog with the following:
journalctl -b -0 -o short-iso
That should give a clue of what is not starting correctly.
