As the title says, unable to boot into Zorin for Install, USB drive basically takes me to a black screen with a flashing cursor after selecting "try or install Zorin OS"
I have tried different known working in zorin graphics cards, messed with Bios settings (its non UEFI so pretty basic), and tried booting off a DVD. All produce same results.
Did you check the SHA256 checksum of the downloaded .iso? seeing that you tried both USB and DVD media.
My other question was, is the AMD FX-8320 64bit or 32bit? I have done an internet search for that and the answer seems 64bit, so that is not the cause.
