Failed to install Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit

Question

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.

@pilot6 no black screen, just loads forever. dots freeze, but I can hear the CD is running, then stops, then goes again, and stops...and so on forever — Matej Marić, Jan 07 '17 at 17:58
no way that there's aything wrong with hardware, because i can install 32 bit ubuntu anytime and everything is working perfectlly — Matej Marić, Jan 07 '17 at 18:02

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>     |
