Thank you for your reply, I appreciate the help.
But I'm afraid it's the same thing. I really don't understand it. I don't seem to find anyone else with the same problem. I've tried different bios settings, different bios versions, very plain EFI, very elaborate ones.
Basically, the way I see it the internal graphics turn off when it would normally start the catalina installer, I have the impression the mac installation app is actually happening, it's just not outputting anything to the screen.
I'd be happy to pay you to help me out.
