      @scottalanmiller -- If you get the flashing screen issue, that's a problem that is resolved by doing updates.

      Flashing screen? It doesn't even load the OS yet. We are a long way from worrying about a flashing screen.

      Even on Tumbleweed?

        Tumbleweed failed, working on a fresh attempt.

                    Which distro are you testing first?

                      I wonder if it is related to this

                      https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Realtek_8169_driver_problem

                      Could it be the network drivers hanging it all up? Perhaps disable the NIC in the bios and see if you're able to get past that?

                            Running a LiveUSB works just fine for me.

                                I used UnetBootin to create my liveUSB, from there did a direct download of Mint 18 64 bit (on windows 10)

                                Rebooted, hit ESC to get to the boot selection screen, chose my USB and was up in a minute or so.

                                  Standard approach, should work with your system Scott. Maybe compare your UEFI/BIOS settings with @DustinB3403

                                    It actually took me a bit longer, I had to figure out what the boot selection key was on this beast.

                                      You left SecureBoot on and everything? No changes?

                                        No changes at all, I rebooted, tapped esc to get to the boot selection, and booted from my USB.
