Can't tell it's not in English.

Linux Mint will need at least 30 GB and a 1 to 2 GB swap partition.

When it come time to partition choose 'something else' and create a ext 4 journaling file system and a mount point /.
Make it a primary partition and at the beginning of the space.

Than click on the remaining space and make the swap partition.

How much free space do you have to install Linux?

Did you try a DVD?

50 GB of free space should be sufficient.

I'm sorry I am out of ideas. I've shared with you everything I know to try.

Install the os to Virtual Machine and then dd it to the real os.
OR>
Remove the drive and move to usb and install on another system.

You might want to run Memtest to make sure the RAM isn't bad.

It is possible that some chipsets or firmware on the mother board won't allow Linux to work properly.

IF you still can't install Mint try Ubuntu.

Q4OS looks exactly like Windows but it's based on Debian. Runs GREAT! (once installed you have to set it up)
