Computer Specs

Asus Vivobook s530f
8GB RAM DDR4
Nvidia MX150 (!)

Background

Successfully installed Ubuntu 18.04 on my computer (specs above). Secure boot off, fast boot off. Partitioned around 230GB for Ubuntu. Used minimum install and option to install 3rd party drivers.

Problem

After selecting ubuntu from three options ( ubuntu, advanced options, system setup ) appears blank screen with ubuntu color.

Boot options: nomodeset ( quiet splash doesn't make a difference )

Most of the solutions advise nomodeset but I already did that... Any help would be appreciated.

And also this laptop doesn't have a LAN port to connect to a network and install graphics drivers from grub terminal.
