Installer crashes while installing bootloader. Alienware 17 R3 laptop brand new

[Justin Michael Cloutier]

I am just trying to get Ubuntu 14.04.4 installed on my new laptop. It always fails at installing grub. I have run sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda the drive is not frozen. I have removed all boot entries from UEFI still a no go. I am using UEFI with secure boot enabled.
