Installing other OS on Asus VivoTab TF810C

I've followed many guides, gone through many trial and errors but I cannot seem to install Ubuntu, Debian or even Android on my Asus VivoBook TF810C.

I make it to the GRUB screen for these OSes but as soon as I select any option the screen goes black. I've tried nomodeset and forcing the resolution to 800x600 - still the black screen. I'm guessing it may be some driver issue or something fixable in the grub.cfg file - I'm hoping someone might now through experience.

Side note: I've tried different usb devices. I'm plugging them into the tablet through it's dock as the tablet does not have any USB ports. It does have a little adapter thingy for plugging usb directly into the tablet but that's at the office and I will only be able to get it tomorrow. However, I don't think the device is the problem since I get to the GRUB screen.

Anyway, thanks!

P.S. It came with Windows 8 which I upgraded to Windows 10 later on through bootable USB (there was some corruption so it was a fresh install)

That tablet comes with a 32-bit Intel Atom processor so you can not use 64-bit operating systems. Try a 32-bit version: Ubuntu Budgie or Ubuntu MATE
