Yeah the Ubuntu bootable usb worked fine on my cousin’s PC, eventually, same as the windows image. I haven’t tried the Ubuntu image on my system recently. its an old BIOS, so IDK if there’s going to be more updates: Z87-G45 GAMING. last update was 2014













it was strange, because the boot options prompt stopped appearing, and it would only say no bootable device. Originally, I figured fixing things through the prompt would have been better.
Regardless, you’re likely right it wasn’t virus related.
