Error 5 - input/output error

I am trying to install Ubuntu (actually Kubuntu, but I've tried Ubuntu as well and it gives the same error) on my AMD Ryzen 5 3500u laptop, which runs windows perfectly. Every time I try to install Ubuntu or Ubuntu-based distros, setup just throw me that error, I've tried every solution on the internet.

It is happening with Ubuntu based distros only. Fedora and arch-based distros give no error.

My hardware is perfectly fine.

output is The installer encountered an error copying file to the hard disk:

[Errno 5] Input/output error

This is often due to a faulty CD/DVD disk or drive, or a faulty hard disk. It may help to clean the CD/DVD, to burn the CD/DVD at a lower speed, to clean the CD/DVD drive lens (cleaning kits are often available from electronics suppliers), to check whether the hard disk is old and in need of replacement, or to move the system to a cooler environment.

I've also tried different installation medias(different USB sticks ) and used my phone as a bootable device but no effect I've checked multiple times that my ubuntu iso file is not corrupt
