    Ubuntu 14.04/ any linux disto not installing

    I have tried so hard to install Linux on my computer so many times! I have tried with DVD's (properly burned via tutorial on official Ubuntu website, tried the following Linux distributions: Ubuntu 14.04.01 32 and 64 bit, Ubuntu 14.10 64 bit, Fedora workstation 21 64 bit, and puppy linux) and also have tried USB installation (With Ubuntu 14.04.02 64 bit with both formatting and placing the .iso, and with LiLi)! I have tried the F6 option in the ubuntu loading screen (as far as it gets, by the way) and have come up with no good results. I tried all options in the menu, including trying Ubuntu, and installing Ubuntu, and have come up with no results! I really am desperate (as windows is a... Unfruitful (to say the least) OS for me)) to get help, and would love ANY help I can get. Included is a list of a .nfo i converted for you.

    Did you get anything yet? I don't want to seem like an annoying person, but I love Ubuntu and want to use it D:

    And it has problems with any other OS besides Linux?

    Please post the model number of your motherboard and copy down the BIOS info from your BIOS post messages.

    This is what I suspect. You might get these messages if you had a BIOS problem or a nvidia nForce controller firmware problem.

    First to try would be to go to your BIOS setup and go to the setting that says to "Reset settings to factory defaults."
    If that does not help., look at the BIOS version, then to the vendor's site to see if the BIOS is up-to-date (latest version).
    If up to date, go to nVidia's site, and see if your nForce firmware version is the latest for that motherboard's nForce controller (found in the motherbaord's spec sheet.)

    Those 3 things would cause the kinds of conflicts you are having.

    Here we go!
    My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 Rev 2.0 NEWEST BIOS UPDATE (I just updated them, but Ubuntu still doesn't work). It is a, as said by the model number, S-Series motherboard by Gigabyte. Here are some pictures of the bios/bootup sequence:
    The main boot up sequence, when I just started it.
    IMG_20150221_214142.jpg
    The sequence that you see AFTER the boot sequence, where it verifies DMI pool data and loads, showing IRQ residence and more.
    IMG_20150221_214119.jpg
    Tell me if you need more.
    By the way sorry for image quality, I only have a crappy phone camera (But not a crappy phone )
    And no, I have tried windows vista ultimate 64 bit 2 times (one got corrupted by me being stupid), so I can't say anything about other operating systems.

    Re: Ubuntu 14.04/ any linux disto not installing!

    Let's try to narrow some options. (troubleshooting tips for the weekend project )
    I don't think you have an exotic system that will not run Linux.
    So first make sure that the USB is bootable, a good confirmation is try it on another computer. If it boots linux from the flash drive, then your USB flash drive is good.

    Next, be sure that the computer, BIOS is set to enable USB and boot sequence should use USB device first. Some motherboards treat USB drive as hard drives, so you may need to make the first boot device as USB-HDD. Other motherboards like mine have the option like pressing F12 that will make me choose which device on the computer I want to boot.

    Next, if you were able to boot to USB but Linux doesn't load or is stuck, try to minimize peripherals/devices connected on the computer, say remove the CD drive and internal hard drive, just mouse and keyboard, and monitor connected to the computer.
    Just boot from USB and try LIVE mode. If you were able to get to the linux desktop, then reboot and start connecting the internal devices and other peripherals one at a time.

    My USB does work, but the problem was that it (when I press F12 and pick USB-HDD) asks me to pick a system kernel or something like that... As soon as I can, I will post the picture.

    Angry Re: Ubuntu 14.04/ any linux disto not installing!

    Okay! I have successfully installed via LiLi on my USB, but now when I boot up Ubuntu (Grub works just fine) it gets stuck and hangs on this screen after loggin...
    IMG_20150222_125403_hdr.jpg
    I put all of the information in correct... Why? D:
    Also, thanks for all of the help, I would have never gotten this far (since I am still learning)!

    Did you try booting with the "nomodeset" option (since you have Nvidia video)? If that works, look for the Nvidia drivers under the Dash's "Additional Drivers" and try the current. Can you switch to a virtual terminal (Ctrl-Alt-F2 or any F2 - F6) and get a login prompt? Switch back to the X screen with Alt-F7 (note no control needed from the text terminals to switch).
