I am only familiar with Ubuntu and the following tips are based on what I had to do to get 18.04 and 20.04 to install.

 

 There are two install procedures. One is for UEFI bios, the other is for legacy bios. I think erica can be erica-2 or 5 or whatever. I am  not familiar with that motherboard but I suspect it is UEFI.  Some BIOS can be set to boot legacy or UEFI so pick one then choose the boot USB

 

Create a USB flash boot with the UEFI boot of Mint (or whatever version)

Create a legacy USB boot with same version of linux

 

One of the above two should work.  I use rufus to create the boot USBs.
