Haiku's USB stick freezes PC even before boot menu

Description

I've tried to run Haiku on my next PC, but PC completely freezes on very beginning with Haiku's 64 bit USB stick plugged in. No BIOS, no boot menu, no hotkeys, nothing, just PC's startup logo.

I've tried to write Haiku to another stick - it's the same. I've tried to boot Haiku from that flashdisk on another hardware - it works. I've tried to boot another OSes from the same drives - it works.

Should I try 32-bit Haiku there? I'll attach hwinfo output from Ubuntu-based distro, it's too much there, but I hope I will contain all necessary hardware information

P.S. I'm talking about the latest nightly (hrev53935), but when I tried to install Haiku last summer it was exactly the same

Is this an EFI system?

Your PC probably have buggy firmware. I had similar issue with some notebook PC and fixed it by changing anyboot/raw image type. Firmware seems don't like disk layout and freeze.
