Failed to install Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit

I was trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit on my acer aspire e15. it has intel pentium quad core processor N3540.

Inserted the cd/usb (tried both), boot menu, selected my boot device and then the Ubuntu screen appeared with little dots and was loading forever (I think it froze). Same thing happened when I was using usb.

Tried installing ubuntu 16.04 64 bit, same thing happened.

I've read here that it is possible to install it on my machine.

Can you check if secure boot is disabled? If it is enabled it will block all software that 'isn't trusted by the system manufacturer'. And it would be likely that a Linux USB is seen as possible harmful software.

I think the problem is occurring from BIOS. You need these settings:

Secure Boot = <Disabled> |
UEFI Boot = <Enabled> |
Boot From Other OS = <Enabled> |
