Having Trouble with Install

[amahoro]

Hey guys.. I recently downloaded Ubuntu and created a live USB.. The drive booted up once now I get this image:
270736

This happens after I press the "try Ubuntu" option. I cannot get on to the disk to type in any commands so therefore I have no idea what to do..

Here are the specs of my PC:
Gigabyte motherboard (DS3P)
Nvidia GTX 960
1 Kingston SSD
1 Western Digital Drive
8 GBs of RAM
AMDx64 8110 CPU x8 Core

Hi Amahoro,
Have you any other boot entry on your usb bootable device ?
For example test the media or maybe install in OEM...
Best

Well it did bit up once so I'm assuming the driver and file are fine. As for oem doesn't work. There's nothing else on the drive besides the ISO files

With nVidia you normally need nomodeset both to boot live installer and install until you add the nVidia driver from repository. Do not download directly from nVidia.

Are you booting in BIOS or UEFI boot mode?

In BIOS mode you get tiny icons at bottom for just a few seconds and must press the famous "any" key. Then f6 to add nomodeset.


At grub menu you can use e for edit, scroll to linux line and replace quiet splash with nomodeset.

After replacing "quiet splash" with "nomodeset" I just get a black screen.. I fixed it.. turned out the install didnt like my usb.. You can now mark this as solved. Thanks for all your help guys :)
