I have a Razer Blade 2016 edition computer. I downloaded a Linux Mint ISO file, and used Rufus to make it a live file system on a USB. I load my computer's boot options by clicking F12 while the computer is loading, and select Linux Mint 64 bit cinnamon.

It then proceeded to load the Linux Mint logo, with the 5 dots activity indicator under it. The indicator shows activity, for a very long time, but it never progresses beyond that.

If I use the same USB on my brother's computer, a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, it works perfectly and boots in under 30 seconds.

I booted in compatibility mode and got the following screen output:

It fails to actually start a session in compatibility mode as well. Does anyone know what may be wrong?
