I'm trying to install Ubuntu 18.04 on a Dell XPS9560 with an Intel Core i7-7700HQ and It was freezing up on the splash screen. I started it again and disabled the splash screen in the GRUB command line and I saw it freeze with these repeated "soft lockups" on several different processes. I'm pretty sure it's not a low-level hardware failure because I have Ubuntu 16.04 and Kubuntu 18.04 installed on two different partitions of this computer and both work fine.
Sorry for the low image quality. It's a phone picture because a screenshot won't work. Any idea what would cause this?
