grub-install fails

[Owen Wang]

When installing Ubuntu with all default settings and install 3rd party software turned on, I get an error that says "Fatal error: 'grub-install /dev/nvme0p1' has failed."

I tested the same installer on a different computer and it worked perfectly on that one, so there seems to be an issue with the installer and my computer. If I use the installer from releases.ubuntu.com it sometimes works and sometimes also crashes.
