Hello Ubuntuforum,

Now, im not going to make this as long as possible.

I have a problem when trying to boot into Ubuntu OR install ubuntu from a live usb.

I have made a video about it so it will be easier to recognize.

Video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQa9WjNIx_A)

I have searched the web and forum but my knowledge is so minimal I dont get halve of what they're are saying or if its even directly good for my problem.

It would be awesome if some people could take a look for me.

Thanks!

Ok. So in the video are you booting to an installation of Ubuntu on the hdd or are you booting from the live version?

Ok so you can go here - http://askubuntu.com/questions/162075/my-computer-boots-to-a-black-screen-what-options-do-i-have-to-fix-it

And then scroll down until you see this line
If you are trying to install Ubuntuand try to follow the instructions it has for booting up with nomodeset and or acpi=off in step number 2.
Some radeon and nvidia cards will not boot up using the generic graphics drivers so some extra steps have to be taken.

It could also be whats happening in step 3 at the link so you should probably read through that whole page, it may clear some things up for you.
