Bug Description

I've tried to reinstall Ubuntu 18.04 on my PC alongside Windows 8.1. I already had a dual booting working machine (with 16.04, then updated to 18.04) for a while, but when trying to reinstall the Ubuntu partition I get this error, even if with the first installation everything worked fine. I have an Asus x552CL, I don't know how to understand if it's a problem with Bios or UEFI and how can I change the options or resolve it.
