I've ensured I have only one monitor plugged in.

Splash screen disappears and cursor appears, but freezes entirely.Desktop loads and lets me get almost to the end of installing (status bar nearly full) before freezing ( example on 20.04 but this has happened on 22.04 in an identical fashion).Desktop loads and lets me get part way through the installer before freezing.Installation crashes with command line output mentioning soft lockups with CPU cores getting stuck ( example).Installation crashes with command line output mentioning kernel panic ( example).Splash screen freezes after loading spinner disappears.Splash screen freezes with loading spinner.Infinite loading spinner on the Ubuntu splash screen.Now, usually one of the following will happen: Select "Safe graphics mode" (note: I have also tried using the default graphics mode).Select the Ubuntu ISO in the Ventoy splash screen.Drop the Ubuntu 22.04 LTS ISO onto it (hash checked).Flash Ventoy to a brand new 8GB USB stick.Shrink my Windows 10 partition by 100GB to ensure there is enough space available on my primary SSD.
