Heard neat things about Qubes, so hopefully you get it figured out. Asking the obvious, but have you tried other USBs? Are you able to install other distros without issue?

Yeah, definitely want to atleast try it out, I haven't yet tried any other USB's I only have the one at the moment unfortunately, will need to to try an 8GB one as the Qubes devs recommend that on their site. Currently running Linux so haven't had problems installing distros, I dual boot.

Your GPU wouldn't have anything to do with it. The hardware is old enough to be supported.

Have you tried running the ISO in a virtual machine? The ISO from the Qubes website could be corrupted or broken.

Ah, on the Qubes troubleshooting guides they advise that NVIDIA are notorious for causing problems, I believe that is during the installation itself which I have not even been able to attempt so far.

Another thing, but you'll want to make sure virtualization is enabled in your BIOs (dependent on Intel or AMD).

This is something that I have not actually tried yet, so I will try that next.
