OK, and what hardware *is* it please? Does it have AMD graphics, for
example?

Right.

Ummm, no. That sounds like you're talking about the live images. We
*don't* have a "standard" DVD installer image, just a "standard" live
image. We also don't have desktop-specific DVD installer images.
Please try again with the normal installer image from
http://get.debian.org/images/release/10.4.0/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-10.4.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso
and see if that works better for you?
