Cannot seem to get 18.04 to install on HD of PC
I am trying to get Ubuntu 18.04.2 installed on a bootable DVD or USB Drive.
I downloaded the ISO of 18.04.2 just fine.
Here are the problems I am having:
1) I changed the boot order of my BIOS to the USB drive first. Then I saved and let it go on. It immediately turned black and would not come back even if I let it go overnight.
2) Then I tried doing the same thing with the DVD. It did the same thing after I changed the boot order to DVD, then let it go on.
3) Finally, I tried putting another HD in the PC and did the same thing (with the USB) and it did the same thing.
I have had Ubuntu 16.04 on the PC before. It originally was a Windows 8/10 box before I re purposed it to Linux so I know it should work for 18.04. I am pulling my hair out trying to get this turned to Ubuntu 18.04.
The PC is as follows:
ASUS M Series M51AC
Intel Core i7 (4th Gen) 4770 / 3.4 GHz
16 GB RAM
1 TB Hard Drive
Please give me a hand getting this converted to 18.04! I am not trying to dual-boot, I am just trying to get the newest LTS version of Ubuntu put on it.
Thank You,
Mike

You downloaded the ISO 'just fine' (so I take it you md5sum validated it etc). Did you verify the write the thumb-drive (which you are trying to boot from), ie. boot on another machine or that machine & perform 'media-check' to ensure the write-to-install-media was valid. If you can't do this on that system, I'd suggest performing it on another pc/laptop to confirm your install media is correct & your issue is the machine you're trying to boot & install on.
