CPU:
Intel® Core™ i7 Skylake - 6700HQ 2.6 GHz, 6MB Cache (3.50 GHz com Max Turbo)
MEMORY:
32GB Memória DDR4 (2133 MHZ)
HARD DISK (HDD), SSD OU SSHD:

SATAe M.2 - 480GB SATA III - 6Gb/s
TELA (LCD):
15.6" FullHD (1920 x 1080p) 16:9 LED-Backlit - (Matte)

I already tried to install 16.*

I had the same problem with my GTX 950M and my skylane i5.

I solved it changing the boot options in grub (e key) and setting "nomodeset" flag for installing the SO.

Following, i install the privative drivers and the skylane firmware for my processor: https://01.org/linuxgraphics/intel-linux-graphics-firmwares

Hope that helps you.

  • how did you change to nomedeset @totemax? – CantFindMe Oct 21 '16 at 21:54
  • Press 'e' key at grub and write nomodeset after splash. – totemax Oct 21 '16 at 21:56

  • Sorry , works for mi :-/ – totemax Oct 21 '16 at 22:01
  • Use 16.04 or 16.10. Although still supported until 2019, 14.04 is now old and you have a brand new hardware for which the newer releases provide much better support. And yes, you may need nomodeset. Make sure you type it exactly as it should be, after or instead of "quiet splash", and be careful not to add or remove spaces between that and what comes next, if any. –  Oct 21 '16 at 23:04
