Last day I bought a laptop with NVIDIA G105M and Intel Core Duo Inside which has Windows 7 default. As a Linux fan, I wanted to install Ubuntu to my laptop and I plugged in my old live USB (which I used to install Ubuntu to my desktop computer) and followed instructions that the live USB said. But when I rebooted my computer, I got only a text cursor (top-left corner):

enter image description here

So I tried to install Ubuntu several times but I got nothing. So I searched on the web and saw that Nvidia users should use the nomodeset option. So I did it but it didn't solve my problem. I tried other Ubuntu versions but nothing changed. So I searched the web again and found an article that says to me I should hold down the Shift key. I did and I got that screen:

I tried another Linux distribution called Linux Mint but it gave me the same error. I reinstalled grub2 2 or 3 times again but it didn't work. I tried boot-repairing but it didn't work either. I am lost. Am I doing something wrong? Should I update my BIOS or do what? Please help. I want my Ubuntu! :D

Edit:When I press the Shift Key I got thtis screen and When I use the "Ctrl+Alt+Delete Key Combination" my computer reboots so BIOS boots my kernel, isn't it?
