Hi all!
I would like to have some help. I’ve a Dell 7559, the i7 6700HQ CPU model with a 500GB Samsung EVO M.2 SSD and a Nvidia GTX 960m GPU. I would like to have a dual boot system with Ubuntu 16.04 and Windows 10.
Windows 10 was ‘transferred’ to the SSD with the Samsung Data Migration tool, which worked fine (but it didn’t copy the Windows recovery partition). I’ve already made a recovery ISO image with the Windows utility (from the original HDD), so if anything goes wrong it won’t be the end of the world.
[Edit: I haven't yet installed Ubuntu, but I'm trying to let it boot from a USB drive properly first.]
But now the weird thing is: sometimes (around one in 20 times) Ubuntu just boots … but in most cases it stops booting.
I've made two videos, one of a failed boot and one of a successful boot:
failed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0etv-i0Euk8.
successful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YogZc_f70Vc.
You can set the video speed to 0.25 if necessary.
The USB drive was prepared with the Rufus USB installer.
I didn’t disable ‘secure boot’ and as it seems to be difficult to re-enable it I wouldn’t like to turn it off.
[Update: Here's the output from BootInfo: http://paste2.org/6O4DgxMU]
Could someone explain this weird behaviour, and if possible, give a solution in order to solve it? I suppose it won't be gone after installing Ubuntu?
Also, regarding the install and the UEFI stuff, I like to set the partitions by myself but are there any other settings (grub, ...) I should take care of?
