[all variants] Unable to install any Linux onto PC with Asus AM1M-A

I am unable to install any variant of Linux onto my custom built PC with an Asus AM1M-A motherboard, including the AMD 5350 APU.

The furthest I get along in the install process is with the Ubuntu 14 LTS (x64) Mini ISO bued to a CD. I get as far as "select and install software" before errors occur.
I have to manually specify the correct keel or else the install fails at "installing base system." I use the linux-signed-4.4.0.... keel.

The most obvious error is listed below:

Apr 3 22:10:19 keel: [ 2552.730048] python3.4[12316]: segfault at 8030 ip 0000000000572934 sp 00007ffc91aa5480 error 6 in python3.4[400000+2fe000]

Apr 3 22:10:20 in-target: Errors were encountered while processing:

Apr 3 22:10:20 main-menu[275]: WARNING **: Menu item 'pkgsel' failed.

I have tried, in total, almost 20 different distributions of Linux and they all fail installing. I would rather not have to go to Windows; however, I have a feeling that I may have to buy a new motherboard because the current one does not appear to have the right settings to be compatible with Linux.

I can post more information about the system configuration and errors.

Thanks
