Dell Inspiron 14-3452 BIOS refuses to boot Ubuntu

Writer Matthew Harrington

After installing Ubuntu 15.10 x64 (I also tried 14.04 x32), whenever I booted, it told me:

Your system seems to be having trouble starting. Dell SupportAssist is scanning your hardware for a possible cause.

Is there a fix for this?

EDIT: I'm about to give up. There is no setting in the BIOS to make this work, I can't reinstall Windows to update the BIOS, and I've tried all restorative and formatting applications on the Ubuntu live USB. Can anyone help me?

EDIT 2: Boot repair log:
