UPDATE 7/15:
Problem solved!
I "reset" my BIOS with the Gigabyte "fail safe" settings, then changed back the few necessary requirements (such as AHCI, 64-bit) and I was able to successfully install Catalina 10.15.5.
.................................................
I am struggling to get Catalina installed on my system. I can make it through the initial drive partitioning, initial installation(first stage) but then after the reboot where I chose the “Macintosh HD - Data” partition the installer makes it to very near the end and then my computer reboots.
It’s not a graceful shutdown or reboot but more like a hard power cycle restart. Upon each time I reboot and then choose the “Macintosh HD - Data” it attempts to re-do the install.
I’ve watched the timer tick down and it does this power cycle when it says it has less than a minute remaining. Unfortunately nothing is displayed on the screen just before the system hard power cycles.
This is a X58 based system that has been running Sierra. I have replaced the video card with a MSI RX580.
