ZorinOS 16 Pro wont Boot after installation

When i chose Install Zorin OS it also gets stuck on the Motherboard boot screen it only shows MSI MPG https://imgur.com/a/fXpborf (screen is from the internet there is no windows loading circle, just to clarify) but if i choose install ZorinOS (Safe Graphics) it boots and i am able to install it. It asks me to restart after installation then asks me to remove the install medium wich i did and pressed enter just to get stuck on this screen again https://imgur.com/a/fXpborf

Now that you have installed the OS, you should be able to boot into recovery:

To get to the Recovery Menu, though (You will want to know at some point), tap the esc or tab or maybe the left shift key beginning when you see your motherboard splash screen.
Tap it like you'll die if too slow.

Navigate to Advanced Options for Zorin and choose Recovery Mode.
From there, down arrow to drop to the terminal prompt
Hit enter
Then in the terminal

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Arrow key to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and change this to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
tap ctrl+x to exit. then the y key to say yes to save. then the enter key to save the current configuration.
Now enter in

sudo update-grub

Once complete, back out of the recovery menu and proceed to Normal Boot. It should boot normally.
Once you reach the desktop, you may need to check your graphics drivers. You can open Software & Updates and the Additional Drivers tab or

sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
