New PC won’t boot up windows 11

Hey yall, I just finished my first ever PC build and the whole thing works just fine. It boots to BIOS, the fans run, it registers my SSD and my HDD, but it won’t install windows no matter what I do. I’m attempting to install windows 11 from a USB stick. I’ve tried 2 separate sticks with 3 redownloading attempts between them, but neither will boot. Every time I try, it always blue screens, either saying there was not system registry file or that the kernel was missing. (This would change even if using the same USB stick). Does anyone have any advice for me? I’m starting to get worried that I threw away over 1000 USD for nothing.

Specs:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5500
Motherboard: ASUS A520M Plus WiFi
GPU: RTX 3060 Ti OC Edition
SSD: Crucial P310 1 TB M.2 NVME
HDD: Samsung 2TB HDD
RAM: 1x A-Tech 16GB DDR4 3200 MHz
PSU: ARESGAME AGV Series 650W 80 Plus Bronze
