I am a noob to Ubuntu and Linux in general. I popped in the Live CD and it gave me a black screen with a cursor. (I read that this was fixed by typing "fb=false video=vga:off") That fixed it, and is not my problem. I just thought I might include it in this post because my problem might be related.
So at that point, things were going smoothly. I got all the way through the installation without anymore problems. My problem came in when it finished. I was asked to "Restart Now" or "Restart Later". Well, might as well do it now... right?
I clicked the "Restart Now" button and I was redirected to a black screen with some text on it telling me to "Remove the CD and press Enter". So I did. It restarted the computer, but when it started to boot Ubuntu, I got a purple screen of death. I could not get to menu where I previously typed "fb=false" etc. I can attach some pictures tomorrow too if that would help.
