Bug Description
Hi.
While using Windows 10 with VirtualBox 5.1 with Ubuntu 12.04 x64, I can set it up without any problems by creating a standard virtual machine and pointing it to the 12.04 iso.
However If I do the same with a Ubuntu iso 16.04 x64 iso, it fails because the display shows abnormal pixels.
I've tweaked some Virtualbox settings and by enabling EFI, I can complete the install but I cant reboot it because it gets stuck while displaying the EFI shell (I think).
There are other people facing this problem as seen at:

In case any information is required please ask.
Thanks.

The EFI problem is with virtualbox; just don't use EFI mode. The graphical problem is with one of the video cards it emulates. Try changing the emulated video setting. I think it was cirrus that had this problem.
