      probably your bios is trying to start the system in legacy mode instead of uefi

              you can't clone the usb stick to the hdd, you must follow the installation
              After you download this pfSense-CE-memstick-2.4.4-RELEASE-p3-amd64.img.gz
              extract it,
              write it to the usb stick (use something like rufus or Win32DiskImager or whatever netgate suggest.)
              put the stick on the pc and make it start from the usb stick
              install pfsense
              remove the stick
              if it does not start make sure that in the bios the first boot say something like

              (UEFI) hardiskname

              and not only

              hardiskname

              I had this problem with a gigabyte motherboard even after setting "UEFI only"

                Also did you install UFS or ZFS?
                With ZFS installers I had boxes that needed to be set up with install type "UEFI + active" for their UEFI/BIOS implementation to kickstart the boot process. If only installed in UEFI mode it wouldn't boot.

                    Freeze or just didn't display anymore? Did you install the VGA version or accidentally used the serial version?

                      install vga version. I think the system continues to boot because hdd its active. numlock active
