Spent hours but no go.intel i5-6400 on MB Asus B150M-K , latest firmware,secure boot disable ,with uefi or bios - cant go passed the initial install screen.

Using sandisk extreme USB to install on Kingston ssd (using live USB also doesnt work)

I managed to live boot ubuntu but only using (safe graphics) option -anything I can do?

If Ubuntu will only boot in safe mode, it suggests something is odd with the hardware. The installer should generate a logfile in the root folder of the USB, which might (or might not) contain some errors that shed light on the issue.

Thanks ,but there is no log file in the root at all.. maybe that's a clue ? lol

black screen after this screen:

I changed the drive just in case same thing ,but in legacy mode I'm getting now fs-resize.log any idea?

Maybe you have bad blocks on the installation device. I would use GParted to create clean partitions. GParted can be used to repair a storage device by leaving bad blocks out.
