I got a new laptop with FreeDOS in it. I'm trying to install Ubuntu in it. Whenever I'm selecting the device to boot from, this error is occurring. How do I fix this?

Were you able to boot the live system ("try out Ubuntu" instead of install)? Which Ubuntu release do you have?

Are you sure your RAM is OK? (try run memtest86)

@takkat No. I couldn't try the system even. I'm using Ubuntu 16.04

It indeed may be a RAM issue or another hardware incompatibility - if the memtest did not fail try if you have more luck with an 18.04.1 live system (newer hadware may be better supported).

re-download the ISO over a more stable connection. It said something about junk in the archive so the download probably corrupted.

It is better to check the checksums of the downloaded image to make sure the issue lies there and not somewhere else.

See the first line it says Initramfs unpacking failed : junk in the uncompressed archive that means your image has some junk or is corrupted . Download the image again and perform a check on it such as md5sum and when it matches with the key on the website you can proceed to make a bootable from it. You can find the md5sum string on the download page.
