[SOLVED] Arch ISO fails to start

Greetings,

I am trying to install Arch Linux onto my desktop PC. I have recently flashed my BIOS to the latest version and ensured Fast Boot and Secure Boot were set to Disabled.
I used UNetbootin to download the latest Linux Arch core_x64 to my USB drive. After booting into UEFI on my Arch USB,
it shows the following error message:

If anyone knows what I need to do to solve this, that would be great.

UNetbootin is unreliable for writing Arch images. This page tells you the preferred way of writing media to USB with Arch.
Also do verify your download to be safe and secure.

I ended up using Rufus for the USB drive.

It worked!
