I have just purchased a HP Pavillion M6-1010X latop with Windows 7 on it it. When I try to install 12.04 it gives a blank screen. I have used the CD previously to install 12.04 on a desktop. When I first put the CD in, it brought up an "AutoPlay" window that suggested I click on "Run wubi.exe". I did that and approved it changing my computer. I then clicked on "Demo and full installation". This gave three choices. The first "Reboot now" got me nowhere, so I clicked the 3rd option "Help me to boot from CD". this loaded something OK and now when I go to the same place with the CD loaded I click on "Reboot now". This shuts down Windows and gives me a choice of Windows 7 or Ubuntu. I select "Ubuntu" and it gives a screen with a line at the top about completing the Ubuntu install and a number counts down from 5 to 0 and the screen goes blank. I see no way to get to the BIOS screen to alter the boot up choices. I have seen a lot about adding "NOMODESET and other kernel boot options in grub2", but I see no way to get there. There is no purple screen briefly. It just goes blank. I have seen suggestions that my vidio card needs drivers. My card is Radeon 7760M Graphics 2GB. I can not get close to a place where I could get drivers. This touches some other posts on the Forum in places but none exactly. Can anyone help?
