Error: Cannot load image

I just recently built a new pc using these specs:

Intel i5 - 12400k
MSI PRO B760M-P
Samsung 970 Plus Evo 500 GB (New, completely unused)
8x2 GB DDR4 Ram (Just random ram I had laying around)

While attempting to run the "Arch Linux install medium (x86_64, UEFI)" from the grub menu, the screen fades black and returns this message.

error: cannot load image
error: you need to load the kernel first

I'm also running this using UEFI mode since I do not have a graphics card on hand, and the onboard graphics VBIOS is not supported in CSM mode,

I tried both updating my BIOS, using a different usb, and a different usb flashing software, the current install is from Balena Etcher on Pop-OS!

Any suggestions?
