I am not able to install Linux in my newly built machine.I think it can be related with my MB (Asrock Z87 Extreme6). I already have Windows 8.1 installed without UEFI.When I boot (linux) from the BluRay Drive, if I use legacy boot it won't boot at all. If I choose to use UEFI, sometimes it boots, but it fails to install.I have tried several distros (Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware), but with no success. Any idea what's the problem?I have even tried OpenBSD, but no luck there as well.Machine configuration:Kingston HyperX blu Memory 16GB Seagate 1TB SATA600 Asrock Z87 Extreme6 Intel Core i5 4570, 3.2GHzAsus BW 16D1HTUsing onboard GPU

Short: don't use DVI-D, use HDMI >:(Well guys, gave it a try again. And finally did it! :DJust installed Linux Mint debian based version. This time the only problem I found was the display, when I had it connected to my onboard card using the DVI-D nothing was shown, had to connect it using a HDMI cable. :( I would really like to have it connected in the DVI-D port, need to HDMI to connect other devices.I was getting tired of running Debian in a virtual machine. But this cable thing is really a big downside. :( Well, when I get more time I'll try to fix it.I am also starting to wonder if previously the live distros were starting but I didn't noticed because I got no picture. Today I found that the system has booted because I've been working on Windows and left the speakers ON, so I heard the starting sound of the Linux Mint... maybe it was always working... :(
