hello,
I am asking this question here because i am hoping to find someone who has had a similar problem, or who knows how to solve it, because it may also be an ubuntu issue.
I use ubuntu since 8 years already so I am not new anymore, but computer's bios change strangely, and get difficult and insane I think. i recently buyed a new computer to replace my old one, ant it's an Asus N552VW. It came with windows 10 in it, but i make no use of it, and wanted to install ubuntu. at the first try it freezed out constantly as i tried to start ubuntu from usb stick to install it. I then found out that the bios settings must be modified, because of UEFI stuff ecc. my bios settings are posted in the pictures, that show all 5 the bios's settings:

with these settings, that should be correct as i have read on many other pages, i should be able to start ubuntu and install it. but this doesnt happen, or, better, it does not happen the most of the times. 3 times it worked and I managed to install ubuntu, removing windows, and the rest of the times the computer got stucked on a screen like this one:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1uekkVsmyudY0km5ujJ2qvpL5YJ2IZX08-w
no matter how much time i left it there, it would not move. this happened both with ubuntu and ubuntu mate, and this is the problem i get told to happen when the bios settings are wrong, but i have changed them! anyway, 4 times, just 4 times out of at least 50 tries i have maked, ubuntu started and I installed it. 1 time i managed to install ubuntu mate 17.04 . it worked for one boot time, during which i installed some applications and (i think, I am not sure) i installed updates. then, trying to reboot, after i inserted my password, it would freeze. I tried again, and installed ubuntu 17.04. this time i am sure, I installed applications and updates, and then after reboot it freezes as ubuntu mate 17.04 after i insert my password. ubuntu 17.04 also had the problem, that when i clicked "turn off", it freezed without turning off, so i had to force it with the power botton. last time i installed ubuntu 16.04, and this OS does not even start. i see grub, select ubuntu, and then i get an error message as it is starting, telling:
" /dev/sda1 has unsupported feature(s): metadata_csum
e2fsck: get a newer version of e2fsck
fsck exited with satus code 8
[ 9.502245] tpm_crb MSFT0101:00: can't request regionn for resource [mem 0xfed40080-0xfwd40fff]"
the result of all this is that i can't use my new computer, not still. I am trying to start it from usb stick in order to install again ubuntu 17.04, but it is not starting. i've also just seen a post telling that ubuntu freezes after installing updates and rebooting: this should mean that there is an issue with ubuntu itself, but after it is installed. if anyone knows what to do to get my computer working, i'd like it very much, thanks
