Today I used wubi to install Ubuntu 11.10 on my ASUS K53T. Everything went fine but when I choose Ubuntu in boot it shows some lines of text (too fast to read), then shows that nornmal purple screen then flickers and goes black.

There isn't really a lot of information for people to help you. Did you also try to run Ubuntu from the live-CD? – steabert Jan 12 '12 at 20:02

Only 12.04 works on this with newer video stack, its the AMD graphics that causes this issue. None of the mainstream distros including Fedora, SUSE will install either, only distro that works perfectly is Arch based Chakra, it installs and works flawlessly after dist upgrade and Catalyst works fine on it as well.

If you do not feel comfortable booting from a live CD simply try uninstalling ubuntu from Windows and try again, something might have gone wrong during installation. :)
