I updated the BIOS and than I ran the terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

The output is:
v1.3810

Title:
  Trying to install Ubuntu 14.04, but system rebootin again and again

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Today when I tried to install  ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-i386 using a
  bootable USB(using Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.6.0), then after
  showing me initial 4 steps system started rebooting. Any further
  attempts in installing it resulted in the same bug.

  This bug is not letting me install Ubuntu 14.04 on my hardware and it is affecting a few more users too.
