I have read a lot of documentation and the laptop is on the HCL as working.
W540
i7 4900
Nvidia K2100M
16GB RAM
3k Dispaly

Issue:
Installer will freeze after about 1 minute in the GUI everytime, no matter what 
step you are one. 
Things I noticed:
About t-5 seconds to a total system halt (keyboard and mouse stop working) The 
progress spinning wheel hangs.
If you are in a CLI installer you see the error:

(anaconda:1131): Gdk-ERROR **: error: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set in the enviroment


Pane is dead

Troubleshooting done:
Download... Verified and Redownloaded
Image... Using Rufus
Tried multiple USB drives
Set BIOS to UEFI/EFI CSM on and off  (every combo)
Disabled TPM in BIOS as that was how the W540 in HCL was setup.... No Change
Changed power management settings in BIOS
Reset BIOS to factory settings
Disabled VT-D
Slammed head against wall
Added args to xen.cfg to disable nvidia card 
Attempt 1
[qubes]
options=console=none
kernel=vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Qubes\x20R3.1\x20x86_64 
i915.preliminary_hw_support=1 rd.blacklist.drivers=nouveau nouveau.modeset=0 
quiet rhgb
ramdisk=initrd.img
Attempt 2
[qubes]
options=console=none
kernel=vmlinuz inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Qubes\x20R3.1\x20x86_64 
i915.preliminary_hw_support=1 i915.modeset=1 nouveau.modeset=0 quiet rhgb
ramdisk=initrd.img

Nouveau messages can still be seen on startup with both of those on xen.cfg on 
the flash drive.



Notes:
BIOS does not have an option for disabling NVIDIA chip
This is really stressing me out thanks for any help.
