laptop came with Windows 10, I wanted to install Ubuntu instead. created bootable USB with Rufus and tried to install it. 
Ubuntu install failed due to grub install failure. then I made new bootable USB with Rufus but this time I choose GPT as partition scheme instead of MBR. I managed to successfully boot into USB from bios, but install still failed with the same error. I remember seeing only my USB listed as bootable drives in bios menu before booting up. install failed again and I force turned laptop off by pressing power button. after that I can no longer get in bios, hard drive is empty and laptop doesn't boot from USB (tried both win 10 and Ubuntu bootable drives). laptop makes usual beep noise when i connect it to a charger, besides that nothing happens. need help, thanks
