BIOS crash on dual boot Aspire 7

prakhar_bhardwaj

My laptop is Acer Aspire 7. I am trying to dual boot my laptop(Windows 10 and Linux). While installing linux I have to make manual partitation of SSD(boot+swap+home). But the issue is after creating manual partition and installing linux my BIOS crashes. On clicking F2 for BIOS the screen displays a blank screen with just a underscore("_"). Please help me with the issue and thanks in advance.

(1) Can you still boot Win10?

(2) Did you first  make unallocated disk space using Win10 Control Panel Disk Manager?
