Description:
I am having a problem installing and dual-booting android x86 and Windows 10 on my laptop. When I try to install android, it first shows a menu option. I clicked on Android x86 installation and a black window appears then my whole screen goes black and the laptop just turns off. I have checked my Pendrive and there seems to be no problem with it. I flashed the iso on it by Rufus. I also tried doing the Autoinstall to the specified hard drive, resulting in the same problem. I tried everything both with secure boot and fast boot turned off and on, but nothing worked. Now at this point, I don't know what can I do.
Next, I also tried prime os which was my second option, it also acted the same as android x86 did. I am sure that my laptop can easily handle android x86 being installed on it.

Laptop Specs:
Intel Core i5-1035g1
Intel UHD Graphics
8 GB RAM
It is partitioned as 207 GB for Windows and 30 GB for Android
TPM 2.0
My UEFI is also Up to Date

Please help me in this situation.

Extra info if needed:
Manufacturer: Acer
Model: Aspire A315-56
The original OS was Windows 10 Home
It is a 64x processor so I tried all the 64x isos of androidx86 v9.0 and v8.1.
Currently, it has Windows 10 Home (21h2) installed. And OS build is 19043.

Have you tried running the Live version of Android-x86 on this machine, before
trying to install it?

That would help to verify that Android-x86 can actually run, and confirm
whether the problem is with the installer, or some hardware incompatibility.

Yes, I also tried running the live version and it resulted in the same problem. It opened a black window and restarted my computer.
