I have followed this guide to install ubuntu to the same drive as a pre-existing windows 8.1 installation. I have got up to installing ubuntu without any issues where I encounter either a blank screen or a distorted one after the dvd is read.

I have tried selecting nomodeset, acpi=off and nolapic before preceding to install ubuntu with no success (distorted screen).

DXDIAG : http://pastebin.com/nJhtWpMN

My machine is CSM capable and that option has been enabled in UEFI (disabling this stops windows booting)

I actually had to select try Ubuntu before installing and install through the live disc. I suggest trying this in addition to selecting nolapic + acpi=off to anyone encountering the same problem
