This is my first attempt to install Catalina on a new build. The initial boot required to format the target drive (1TB SSD) seemed to go smoothly until near the end where it hangs completely. I've given it 7+ hours (overnight) to complete and launch the installer but without success. Here is the basic configuration:

MB: Gigabyte B365M DS3H
CPU: Intel Core i7-9700K
SSD: Adata XPG Sx8200 Pro

I also bought a PowerColor RX-570 graphic card, but it would not power up. I've RMA'ed the card to Newegg, but in the meantime, I decided to get Catalina running using the Intel on-chip graphics. It seems to work because the high-res Apple logo is displayed, but that's all I see -- the logo and a fully populated progress bar. Clover boots normally.

A common problem with a simple solution - Search for 1689.
 
Still stuck at 1689.

In one solved case the user installed an earlier version of Catalina. So I downloaded 10.15.3 and made a new UniBeast stick. That one stopped at 1683. So I added SSDT-EC.aml to /EFI/CLOVER/ACPI/patched as advised in a thread about 1683. That accomplished nothing.

So I went back to 10.15.7. No joy. Here's my EFI:

As an experiment, I tried again without any files in the /patched/ directory. The installation stopped exactly as before. In my case, it seems that SSDT-EC.aml is irrelevant. Perhaps not a common problem after all.

update your hardware profile please, GTX1050Ti is not supported on Catalina

also try uploading your clover folder so someone may be able to take a look

also if SSDT-EC.aml doesn't work, then you may require the patch:
Code: 
<key>Patches</key>
    <array>
        <dict>
            <key>Comment</key>
            <string>ACPI Patch by mattystonnie</string>
            <key>Disabled</key>
            <false/>
            <key>Find</key>
            <data>
            oAqTU1RBUwE=
            </data>
            <key>Replace</key>
            <data>
            oAqRCv8L//8=
            </data>
        </dict>
    </array>

or may need nvmefix.kext,

try also booting without your ssd to see if that is the issue
