[Bug 1595170] [NEW] Installer crash. Live USB, UEFI-GPT, in install updates during install screen

[Hicks]

Public bug reported:

I am using a bootable flash drive made with rufus utility. I tested with
normal and uefi start. If I start by default, no video. If I start
another session with ctrl-alt-F2 there is no video too, but the computer
responds * keyboard lights works.

I have to modify the boot to have video. I use the modifier nomodeset x11 safemode.
Now when i start the installer, it hangs on the screen to choose if I want to install third party software and upgrades while the system is installed. I tried to select none or only some of them and I can not move from there.

I have tried different applications to create the pendrive.
I tried to give install directly, not using the option to try.
I tried to start the installer from the terminal.
The good issue is that before you could start a live directly without any problem ... I have installed on the computer two Linux, Kubuntu Kubuntu 14.04 and Kubuntu 16 distributions, but now i can not get start to reinstall the system. I tested with Ubuntu, Kubuntu, etc.

Maybe is a hardware issue?
