Is it possible to dual-boot a laptop with Optane memory enabled?

I have an Acer Aspire E 15(E5-576G-50ZQ) laptop with Intel Optane memory(factory fitted) and it originally came with windows 10. Now I want to dual-boot my laptop with Ubuntu.

 

But when I did that, the system will only boot into Ubuntu just for a one time. After I restarted the laptop the system is not booting into Ubuntu giving me an error (Sometimes it is about "VFS - not syncing error" or "Initramfs" error). I tried everyway that the search results of above listed, but didn't happen any good.

 

Is this something to do with Optane memory? Is there any way of me dual-booting my laptop with Ubuntu+win 10 ? And, if there is any please let me know how.

 

Thank you!

@Sachith_Kasthuriarac  I am having the same laptop

I am planning upgrade my RAM to 16GB from 8GB

Have you tried it?

Is there a one 8GB or 2x4GB ram cards available in this model

@Tharindu_Gamage You need to be posting on your laptop manufacturer's website, not here.
