Installing Ubuntu on Dell Inspiron 5585

I've been struggling getting Ubuntu on my laptop for a few days now.

When I load up the install disk it flashes error file /boot/ not found then shows me the boot options (Try Ubuntu or Install). After selecting one of the options it would just show a blank screen, but I set Sleep Mode to Force M3 in the BIOS and now it prints stdin: Invalid Argument until it crashes to the BusyBox.

I've tried:

• Iommu=soft/off/pt
• ACPI=off/on
• Virtualization on and off

Secure Boot is off. I've tried it on 2 releases, 18.04 and 19.10 and 2 different USB drives using UEFI and Legacy. I've also verified my ISO files

I have an AMD Ryzen 3700u with Vega 10 graphics (if it matters, Bitlocker is enabled)

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks to u/HeidiH0 on Reddit the problem was resolved. Fast Boot had to be set to "Thorough" instead of "Minimum"
