Cannot boot into live session from USB on Windows 10

Question

I'm having a bit of an issue trying to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 10 on ASUS G51Jx.

Whenever I change the boot order to USB first, I get a strange occurrence. My screen blinks and I see part of the Ubuntu background combined with my Windows 10 log-in screen.

When I shutdown the computer and remove the USB Windows 10 boots up just fine so it doesn't appear to break anything.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Have you tried?:

• Try another USB or flash to USB again.
• Use this? http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
• Redownload .iso and try again. Maybe it got corrupt or something.

Instead of changing Boot Order, You can directly boot from USB drive without affecting boot order. Look for the option before going into BIOS setup (It varies from system to system, so check it with your system and see what happens. Also try to install the Ubuntu on a different drive other than Windows.

I am also running Windows 10 with Ubuntu 15.10 (Wiley) on a two different drive. And I follow the above method.

Good Luck!
