Ubuntu Mate and Windows 8.1 on Intel Nuc

[ab2]

Hello guys,

I need your help. My first attempt to install Linux didn’t go well :). I have Braswell Pentium Nuc with Windows 8.1 that is installed in UEFI mode. After i click on Try Ubuntu or Install Ubuntu (UEFI mode) i get Ubuntu Mate logo and after few seconds installation stops. Any idea what to do.
Both Os are 64. Ubuntu Mate is 15.10
I read Installing Ubuntu in UEFI mode Guide but didn’t find solution.

Thank you

Thank you wolfman. The problem was that you have to select Linux as an OS in Intel bios. Now everything is all right.
