i need help. i am new to linux but not new to computers by a long shot. i have been working computers since 1993 but this has me scratching my head. i just did a complete wipe of windows and installed the newest version of UBUNTU. everything installed perfectly after it restarted it came up with the black screen problem. but my problem is a litlle different i think i could be wrong. see it says to force the GRUB to boot from live cd and change the grub menu settings. but see i dont even have the ability to bring up my BIOS. and i guess that is my question (from what i know no matter what the operating system is it still requires a BIOS) so if i can not get any BIOS to post to change the boot setting to boot from the LIVE cd how do i fix this. please i could use your help guys thanks.
