I have a MSI PX60 6QE laptop with Windows 10 pre-installed.

I want to install Ubuntu having a dual boot. I have reserved space for it:

Disk space

Disco 0 is my ssd, and disco 1 the hd.

However, when installing it, the laptop freezes when Ubuntu screen is loading. I have tried with some Ubuntu versions such as 16.04, 15.10 and 14.04. None works.

I have played a bit with the bios options, secure boot, fast boot, uefi/legacy bios... But it seems I don't get the correct configuration.

Also I have tried with some kernel parameters, such as the nomodeset or the cstates.

How can I solve it, and install Ubuntu correctly?

I see you have a Skylake machine. I also struggled to get Ubuntu on my Dell Skylake machine. What worked for me was Ubuntu 14.0.4.5 LTS(I chose the GNOME version, tired of Unity). I also added the nouveau.modeset=0 in the GRUB options, and now I happily dual boot them together.

You will need to change the boot options after that. You need to find out what button gets you to the BIOS(on my Dell it is F12). Go to the boot settings, and swap the boot priority(make Ubuntu first, followed by Windows).

You should be good to go after this! :)
