Ok, thx for the reply. I've gone over the BIOS setting several times. The last 
time I upped the video RAM to 500MB based on other posts but it had no affect.

I see a lot of people mention UEFI but I have not seen it explicitly stated 
UEFI is not supported. Secure Boot is a subclass of UEFI. The fact the errors 
mention keys when I have disabled secure boot is troubling and points to a BIOS 
bug it seems to me.

I am able to boot a GParted Live CD and partition the drives, which is based on 
Debian linux, and that shows no signs of errors. I am going to try to install 
linux Mint with UEFI just to see if I can without errors or what errors I might 
get.

I am disappointed its so difficult to install, but I was warned so no surprises 
it is. No other linux distro I've used installs a xen hypervisor either, so 
that is a major difference, plus this is bleeding edge hardware.
