XPS 8950 - cannot install ubuntu server 22.04.01 LTS

I am trying to install ubuntu 22.04.01 LTS using a USB onto a XPS 8950 that I bought specifically for this purpose. The USB works on other machines, but not this one.  Everytime it goes to install - it just says there is a problem with the installer right - the timing of this failure screen changes but is usually after the third party drivers screen ( I opt not to install any, and I have also tried installing - neither changes the outcome. I am doing the default settings for everything (eg. I let the installer choose the partitions). The last thing I see on the screen when it fails is the line "installing grub to target devices). 

 

 

Any idea how to get this going? I bought this machine literally only to act as a server.
