I'm trying to install 16.10 via a thumb drive I configured using Rufus. I'm using the following hardware:
Asus X99-A USB 3.1 motherboard
Intel i7 6850K cpu
Asus Geforce GTX 1080 Strix video card
64 GB Kingston HyperX RAM
1 1 TB Samsung SSD
1 500 GB Samsung SSD
1 4 TB WD HDD
One of two things happens. One: The system boots to the GRUB screen and I select "Install". I get a graphical screen with "Ubuntu" displayed in the middle and animated dots indicating there's activity. Then, the animated dots stop and the install goes no further. I see the thumb drive light flash a few times beyond that but nothing happens after.
Two: The system boots to the GRUB screen and I select "Install". The screen flickers a few times and I get lines of text in the upper, left-hand corner of the screen. Several lines appear and then installation stops, just like it does when I get the graphical screen. I see the thumb drive flash a few times but it stops and nothing happens after that.
Also, if I "try" Ubuntu before installing, I get a very bad display and no ability to use the mouse. The desktop is duplicated side-by-side on a single screen (squished together and kind of garbled looking) and I appear to be able to tab through icons but hitting the "enter" key does nothing.
