@scottalanmiller -- If you get the flashing screen issue, that's a problem that is resolved by doing updates.
Flashing screen? It doesn't even load the OS yet. We are a long way from worrying about a flashing screen.
Even on Tumbleweed?
Tumbleweed failed, working on a fresh attempt.
-
Downloading Mint 18 now, have guests coming over as well, will update when I can.
-
OpenSuse Tumbleweed dies here...

Does Windows load/work without error?

Which distro are you testing first?

I wonder if it is related to this
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Realtek_8169_driver_problem
Could it be the network drivers hanging it all up? Perhaps disable the NIC in the bios and see if you're able to get past that?

or booting with brokenmodules=r8169

Mint 18 (64-bit)

Running a LiveUSB works just fine for me.

I used UnetBootin to create my liveUSB, from there did a direct download of Mint 18 64 bit (on windows 10)
Rebooted, hit ESC to get to the boot selection screen, chose my USB and was up in a minute or so.

Standard approach, should work with your system Scott. Maybe compare your UEFI/BIOS settings with @DustinB3403

It actually took me a bit longer, I had to figure out what the boot selection key was on this beast.
-
You left SecureBoot on and everything? No changes?

No changes at all, I rebooted, tapped esc to get to the boot selection, and booted from my USB.

Ridiculous
