Get rainbow screen on Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 4GB

Have issue where Raspberry Pi seems to boot, but stops on a rainbow (heat map) screen that consumes the entire screen. On one occasion, it actually booted, but a later attempt ends with the rainbow screen, so seems inconsistent.

The following web page shows the screen I have, but not sure about the suggestions

Hi Franco,

Do you have a micro-SD card inserted? You’ll need to load an OS using the Raspberry Pi installer and a loaded micro SD card to the slot to boot up your Pi.

Hi Liam,
Yes the sd cardwas installed. Are you thinking the os is corrupt?

Hi Franco,

Possibly or the micro-SD is not all the way in, are you able to send through a photo of the bottom of your Pi?
PS: you can also boot from USB if you have a Pi 4

Hi Liam,
Seems all the way in to me

Oops, my bad

What is the quickest way to build usb that’s bootable?
