I have one of these: I found that the multi-arch .iso worked better. The UEFI in these is 32 bti, the processor is 64 bit - that might have something to do with it, particularly if there's some alignment issue. Mine doesn't stop for many seconds - but that's only one datum point. I think Charles Curley is also installing on one, too.
