Cant boot / install with Intel i7 5930K

[Hoerli]

Hello!
I try to install Mint 18.1 on my System, but i can't load the Setup or Live-System.
I try to install Mint 18 on this PC:
Board: ASUS X99-Deluxe
CPU: Intel Core i7 5930K
RAM: 16GB DDR4 3000MHz
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 SC (SLI)
M.2 SSD: Toshiba OCZ RD400 (for the System)

At the moment i use Windows 10 Pro 64bit, but i want to install Mint as second system.
I try the same like Broll (viewtopic.php?f=46&t=205702&p=1111477&h ... k#p1111477) but i have still the Problem.
If i boot from a USB-Stick, i choose the normal start of the Live-system.
All what i get is a black screen and my monitor goes on and off unitl i restart the pc.
If i disable csm, secure boot and fast boot i get for 1 sec the Logo and after that a blackscreen with a little _ on the left.
I try to run the live-stick with only one gpu - same problem.

Any fix for that atm?
No idea what I do wrong. On other systems it works fine.

I try to install Mint or Ubuntu since a half year :S



Other Livesystems like Avira Rescue or Kaspersky boots without problems. Avira use the base-system of Ubuntu.

Solving freezes
Some graphics cards don't work well with the open-source driver present in Linux Mint.
If Linux Mint freezes during boot time, use the "nomodeset" boot option as illustrated in the video below:

With nomodeset i can now boot in the live-system!
Great!

oh, wait. Next problem
I can't install the system on my M2.SSD.
The installer only see my old Curcial-SSD.
He cant see my older hdds or a Samsung 840 Pro and 850 Evo.
I don't want to install my system on this device.


Any great tip for that?

Now i have more information.

With a Ryzen CPU (1700) and a Samsung 960 Evo i can install Mint without any problems.

Now i have disconnected all hard drives and only use the M2.SSD.
Now Mint can install to the SSD but the installer want to wipe to complete ssd and kill my windows.
Thats not cool :S

What kernel you using?

Which motherboard?

Hey mr_raider

The Ryzen-CPU runs on a ASRock X370 Taichi.
My Intel-CPU use the ASUS X99-Deluxe. The Complete Setup you can see in my first post.

I use the standard kernel of Linux Mint 18.1 to boot from the stick.
I have not changed anything.
