Live-cd 16.04 don't load on my new Asus n552vw (boot hangs with no message). On the same machine Mint 17.3 works fine.

Maybe check cd for defects, check ISO against checksum and, eventually, burn CD again and do a CD-write check afterwards. – ipse lute Jun 22 '16 at 9:09
    
Why don't try a liveUSB. You got USB 3.0 which is like 10+ times faster than a cd. – ipse lute Jun 23 '16 at 18:28
    
the use of a live USB gave me the same result: 16.04 doesn't start. The USB copy is OK, loads on my old ACER without problems. At present on the new ASUS I work with mint 17.3 but I am an old ubuntu user and I would prefer to run 16.04. – Franco Jul 1 '16 at 14:18
    
Try another 16.04 iso image file. Check which one you already have (intel x86 or amd64) and try the other one too. Usually x86 image should work on all intel and amd cpus, amd64 should work only on 64-bit cpus. – ipse lute Jul 1 '16 at 17:14

Following ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2316462&highlight=ASUS I was able to run the installation CD. I set in the grub menu "nomodeset" and the installation didnot require any manual intervention. I have now dual boot Win 10 and Ubuntu 16.04 under uefi. – Franco Jul 7 at 9:46
