i was instal mint 20 on virtual box and clone vbox to my hd and working...than i tried instal mx kde to vbox and clone to my hd but not working ...
That makes it even more confusing. I wonder how he's cloning his VB installations of Mint and MX-KDE to his hard drive, and why he doesn't just boot from a live USB and install?

If the OP has already installed Mint couldn't his MX install failures come down to needing to disable Secure Boot prior to installing MX? Or does this not apply where the installs are in Virtual Box?
HP 15; ryzen 3 5300U APU; 500 Gb SSD; 8GB ram
HP 17; ryzen 3 3200; 500 GB SSD; 12 GB ram
Idea Center 3; 12 gen i5; 256 GB ssd;
In Linux, newer isn't always better. The best solution is the one that works.

the trouble booting the from Live USB just blank/my comp restarting after choose instalation option(default or advance option), im not already instal mx linux, but i have instalation from cloning on vbox
What's the actual fail or error code if any? or At what point does it fail to install.
Make sure secure boot is turned off if you have that in the bois , and does the live dvd/usb boot ok?
Will it be a dual boot or stand alone?
From these posts in the Ubuntu BUG Tracker forum in 2014, it seems that the onboard Radeon gpu used in your motherboard and other MSI boards of the same vintage was buggy and didn't work well if at all with open source drivers:
I think that your best bet would be to source out a PCIe 16X video card on EBay or Amazon and use it instead of the onboard gpu. Note that you likely will have to disable the onboard gpu in the motherboard's bios.
FWIW, here's the MSI spec sheet for your motherboard:
