Hey Guys,
I'm desperately trying to install Ubuntu 16.04 via a Live CD (USB) as a dual boot on my machine, but no matter what I try I run into a black screen after choosing "Try Ubuntu without installing" or "Installing Ubuntu" in the boot menu. Please help me fix this issue :)
Error Message:
The problem is that I don't even get any error messages at all. I can enter the boot menu and select my USB-stick just fine. Then I'm in the screen where I can choose what to do, for instance "try out Ubuntu live", "install ubuntu", "etc", and I can also change the boot parameter. When I try the "try-out" option or the "install option" I get a pink Ubuntu loading screen for a few moments, followed by a black-screen. At the black-screen state I can't do anything anymore and have to hard-restart my computer.
What I already tried:
1. I tried several USB sticks and several programs to create a Live USB stick (for instance: Rufus, Universal USB Installer, ...). Moreover, I tested the USB sticks on different machines, and there they worked just fine.
2. I changed the boot parameter from "quite splash" to "nomodeset", "acpi=off" and "nolapic". Nothing worked so far.
3. I tried using "UEFI" boot mode, as well as "UEFI + Legacy" boot mode. --> Nothing changed.
4. I tried USB2 ports, as well as USB3 ports. --> No luck
5. I tried connecting to my monitor with a Display Port, Mini Display Port and HDMI cable. --> No luck [No DVI/VGA connection available]
Setup:
I have 3 drives: C:\ --> NVMe SSD, D:\ --> SSD, E:\ --> HDD.
On the C-drive I have Windows 10 installed, and I would like to install Ubuntu on the free partition on my SSD (D-drive). I already resized and freed space on the partition:
273765
System Specs:
- Motherboard: X99A SLI PLUS(MS-7885)
- Chipset: Intel X99
- BIOS: 1.D0 (up-to-date version, flashed already)
- Boot mode: UEFI (also tested in UEFI + Legacy, but same error)
- Fast Boot: disabled
- Secure Boot: disabled
- Monitor: ROG PG279Q [only HDMI or Display Port connection, 1440p]
- GPU: GTX 1080, up-to-date driver installed
- NO integrated onboard graphics on motherboard (!)
- CPU: i7-5820K (overclocking disabled for the installation)
Others:
For performance and stability reasons a "Wubi install" of Ubuntu is not possible for me
Thanks in advance for your help :)
