Original Question: "Big Sur Installer Freezing."

As the title says, I managed to get my system to boot and start the installation process. This continues just fine until it hits the "12 minutes remaining" mark and says "Starting Personalization" in the log file. It will then freeze the whole screen (i.e the mouse) and eventually reboot. Does anyone have a solution? OC 0.6.4 i5 9600k msi z390 radeon 5700 8gb Corsair ram 16gb I did have Catalina installed previously but wiped the disk for a fresh restart - so if it helps, I can reinstall it and rebuild the usb from there.
