I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop because windows runs like crap on it. I can't seem to get past the bootloader install though and it crashes the installer.

I can't see the image.

What's your installation medium? Disc? Flash drive?

Have you checked the installer for defect?

What did you use to create the installer?

Are you dual booting on here? Is the drive good?

I'm using a flash drive, I have just checked it for defects, none found. I used Etcher to flash it

Do you have UEFI enabled?

That's the easier option, it's actually possible to install Ubuntu without legacy mode. It's just trickier, glad you've solved your problem though.
