Cannot properly install Linux after having multiple problems
I have been using Ubuntu 18.04 for about 2 or 3 weeks now, but it started to crash very often, so I started reading about it in order to fix these problems, but nothing really helped.
At the beginning its performance was pretty good and I could not complain, but day by day it failed to get back from the hibernation. The only thing that could help was to turn off my laptop and turn it on again. From that moment it went only worse, as it was freezing when notification about updates popped up, and then after turning them off - completely randomly.
That was the time I decided to reinstall the system completely. The first problem appeared pretty fast, just after choosing to "Install Ubuntu" in GRUB. I could see logo of Ubuntu and 5 dots below it, but after about 15 seconds the installation freezed and my laptop did not respond to any key presses, so I decided to restart the laptop and tried to install it again - without any results.
The first fix I found was to press 'e' while in GRUB and add acpi=off just after 'quiet splash', which made Ubuntu to let me choose my language, name etc. When it came to creating partitions I assigned 15GB for '/' directory, 20GB for '/home' and 16.384MB for SWAP. The installation completed succesfully and I had to reboot in order to finish it, so I did.
I do not know why, but system did not boot afterwards, the only thing that was on the screen was '_' in top-left corner. After 20 minutes of waiting I turned off my laptop and waited for a while before turning it on. Then system loaded up to the moment where I had to insert my password. I did it, pressed enter - system has crashed. Not knowing what really happened, I run it again and then it freezed almost instantly. Next tries ended up that whole GUI disappeared and I could only see my wallpaper.
As I had downloaded Ubuntu 16.04, 18.10 and Kubuntu 16.04 before, I tried to install these one after another, just after 18.04 was that much problematic, but all installations finished the same way.
My laptop is running on Intel i5-7300HQ, nVidia GT1050Ti and 16GB RAM. Just to clarify, I have Windows 10 installed on it and it works without any flaws.

one shot in the blue: faulty ram? If you have time, try out memtest. unix.stackexchange.com/questions/46153/… | memtest86.com/technical.htm#linux | if i remember well you can run memtest from each linux.iso or directly from grub.
