Hi i cant get ubuntu to work on my lenovo (windows 8.1) laptop, i have installed it on a usb and wanted to boot it from it so i get to the choice menu that is dragged out so i cant read anything but i know that the first option is to try it with out installing it so i hit enter and the screen just goes black after that nothing happens. When i hold down the Power button i get to see for almost a second the ubuntu home screen and then the computer shuts off. Help me!
