Yes I tried to access the tty. But I think the problem is with my CPU. It sometimes stalls
when trying to boot up. |

That desktop has enough power, memory, and processor to run almost anything. It does look to be EFI locked, but these days that is not a real problem as long as you install EFI compliant distributions. They may have done something odd in the bios/firmware: I would check the settings available.
The one thing problematic I see is that video system. Those offer great video, but are also often problems for Linux distributions due to driver issues.
What live distributions have you tested? Before I would want to recommend some additional options for testing, I want to know which ones have failed, even if they failed at different stages.

The ones that I know boot into a live environment, Manjaro, Solus and Pop_OS!. The ones I'm not sure if they boot into a live environment, Fedora and Ubuntu. |

Wondering if Debians kernel is older than his laptop.
I try something with a newer kernel. Like a 5.9 or higher at least.
https://mxlinux.org/blog/mx-19-4-now...s%20the%205.10.
Edit: also. Was a md5sum check done?

You might try Fedora 34 (fedora 35 has not yet been officially released). That message says that the system likely has not been configured for internet access yet. Fedora configures the network as one of the earliest steps during first boot.
Fedora 34 released with kernel 5.12 and is currently, after updates, at 5.13.14
Fedora also does boot live so you can see if it boots & works before the install.
