I'm trying to install Ubununtu on a dell laptop. after reaching the install prompt to "delete hard drive and install Ubuntu" the laptop instantly shuts off. I also tried installing lubuntu with the same results. I have used a USB and DVD install and both shut off the pc. I have used Ubuntu and lubuntu without installing and it seems to work fine. any input on this would be great.

Does this laptop have Intel SRT?
And what setting is drive, AHCI, IDE or RAID?

Are you installing in BIOS or UEFI boot mode?
How you boot install media, is then how it installs.
Shows install with screen shots. Both BIOS purple accessibility screen & UEFI black grub menu screen

What version of Ubuntu? 16.04?

Older installs, newer Ubuntu should work better.
