its not booting from usb...would be my first guess!
screenshot the bios boot menu...check if the usb is detected there...and in the first order of the boot device list...
orchid depot
is that general Udisk (USB)...your usb stick or something else?..
naive plinth
Usb stick
orchid depot
Usb stick
can you actually..move this usb up and down..in the list?..
I mean..can you change the order...within the HDD category?..
@naive plinth ?
naive plinth
Yes i can
orchid depot
Yes i can
does this bios have...any shortcut boot key...that shows boot devices directly...during startup...instead of going into the bios?..
naive plinth
Yes, f12

what is this usb stick?...and is it connected directly..or some means like hub or something?..
naive plinth

yesterday everything worked normally
by that...did you mean..the usb would boot the windows installer?...
naive plinth
Yes
orchid depot
Yes
did something happened..since then?..or it happened out of nowhere?..
try another usb port...just in case...
naive plinth
