HELP!!! I just want to install Linux but can't
Hello there. I just got an extra SSD installed on my system that I planned on loading Ubuntu on (or other linux distro). I downloaded Ubuntu OS 19.10 and also 18.04 and installed it on a USB via Rufus and also Unetbootin. Plus also tried a bootable DVD. I even tried getting elementary os, mint, and other options but have the same issue with ALL methods.
I boot from the USB drive and get to the screen where I can try the system or install it. After I make any of the selections, I hear my PC start to roar up then it powers down and restarts it. I can not get past this step. It happens when I try to install and also when I try the system. Currently my main SSD is running Windows 10 x64. Any ideas to get me past this issue??? Been looking for hours for help....
Seen info about disabling secure boot (already disabled) and disabling UEFI (Pretty sure that is done as well). I dug through my BIOS and tried everything I can. I got my mobo a few months ago and not 100% familiar with it. I remember my old MSI mobo had that option clear as day. I searched through the ASRock manual for quite some time and couldnt find anything.
All the hardware came from my MSI mobo in which I have used linux with before, so it should all be compatible right? I have usb booted computers many times in the past with no issues until now. I have been digging for weeks with no direction.
