Sony Vaio SVE11126CVW - Boot Problems - Boot Screen then Black Screen

[SaiyanEye]

Okay, this is my Dad's netbook. He purchased this in the Phillipenes I don't know what happened to his Windows 8 install, I tried booting and it would lag so bad I couldn't do anything to try to fix it. Tried to do his Windows recovery. It was corrupted. I don't know what he did.

I convienced him to switch to Linux :D, telling him that I could install Ubuntu on his laptop with no problems and it would take 30 min after downloading Ubuntu 12.10. I was wrong. It is now day two and I am still trying to figure out how to get Ubuntu working on his laptop.


I then installed it from the USB drive (will not boot from USB in Legacy mode only UEFI mode). The Live USB boots fine, perfectly. I tried installing Ubuntu normally, and I can't even get Grub to work. I tried boot-repair numerous times. For some reason, I decided for sh!ts and giggles, to install in OEM mode. Guess what, now I have GRUB. It booted into GRUB, I then seen the Ubuntu loading screen. (I was thinking YAY! It worked!) Then it goes to a black screen after showing the Ubuntu loading screen. The HDD light flashes at a slow steady pace. Over and over.

HELP! I am getting desperate, iritated and wondering why I am having so much trouble. I have never had this much trouble installing Ubuntu. I have installed Ubuntu it seems like a hundred times with no problems! I am stumped!
:confused:
