Here is the problem. I burned a Ubuntu Installation disk and ubuntu usb. I used Ubuntu 12.04 amd64. My computer is 64bit.

Here is what happens: When computer starts, it boots from the usb properly. Displays the menu, but when I click either install or just run Ubuntu without installation I face black screen and nothing happens. The same happens when I boot from Ubuntu disk. I tried reinstalling usb, nothing changed.

Any help is highly appreciated. I really want to escape Windows 8.

Thank you

  • I haven't. I used UnetBootin. Shouldn't it work though? Because it boots, it just doesn't open the options.

Try to select compatibility options

After booting on your USB drive or CDRom, choose the correct language, and try to check inside the F6 Menu : acpi=off OR noapic.

Check BootOption for more informations.

If this isn't working, please detail your hardware here.
