Ok, the error is happening really early as you only get BTX messages and none 
from the actual loader itself. Can you test usb boot and see if it will get 
further? Also testing/debugging with usb image will be much easier as we can 
update loader on usb….

I already updated the BIOS and I couldn't find any UEFI boot/ Secure
boot features available on my computer (in the BIOS settings). I don't
have any other devices connected than those with which the computer
arrived.

Two things to test - check for bios update and UEFI boot (with decure boot 
disabled). Also make sure any non-essential devices are disconnected - this 
hung smells like it is getting stuck on disk device probing, and one case I 
know I can happen was about SD card reader attached.

At the moment, there is no OS on this PC. When I try to install FreeBSD,
this is the only output which is displayed and everything hangs [1].

I took a picture of system information from BIOS [2]. Please tell me if
there is any other information from the hardware which I should provide.

I downloaded FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-amd64-20170814-r322508-disc1.iso from
here [3]. I will try the latest version, which is
FreeBSD-12.0-CURRENT-amd64-20170925-r323985-disc1.iso and also, I will try
FreeBSD 11.1-Release.

Thanks,
Elena

Hi Elena,

If you can send more details from the hardware, the troubleshooting will be
faster.
E.g. sending a dmesg output (even a screenshot) from the OS.

Have you tried booting FreeBSD 11.1-Release?

Also when you mention FreeBSD 12.0-Current, is it how old? Or do you know
the release version?

Br,

Tommi
