I haven't burned a disc in years. I decided to try another distribution so I put Xubuntu 15.10 on a flash drive and it booted into the desktop without any issues, so it seems there must be something different about Ubuntu 16.04.

I recently built a new Skylake based computer and installed Windows 10

released Ubuntu 16.04 distribution and installed it to USB flash drive.
When I boot to the USB drive I get the grub screen, but when I select
the try ubuntu option the Ubuntu desktop background appears and then
several error windows begin quickly flashing in an unreadable fashion,
making it impossible to proceed. I created the USB boot drive using two
different methods and the result was the same.  The md5sum is correct.
Any suggestions?
I'm wondering if it required a signed kernel for secure boot. I did have
a friend recently who couldn't get his new laptop to boot a usb
installer, but instead needed to use an external DVD drive. I forget
what the bug was but he said it was hardware related, and known on his
particular Lenovo system. Do you have a DVD drive to try with?

Thanks,
Alex
