Hi,

I am a new Linux user and am unable to install Ubuntu as a dual boot with Windows 10.

I have created multiple bootables using Rufus, Universal USB installer and Linux Live USB creator.

I have tried using Ubuntu 16.04.02 LTS and 16.10 and get stuck at the same step.

I have tried using the same bootable on a different laptop and it works fine.

The issue is, after I select USB from boot menu, I get the screen with 4 options,
1. Try Ubuntu without installing
2. Install Ubuntu
3. OEM insall for manufacturers
4. Check disk for errors

If I select option 1 or 2, I get a page saying Ubuntu and 5 dots below it which change to red/white to indicate loading.
At this page the dots will stop changing colors and the system will get stuck. I have tried leaving the system for around 20-30 minutes with no progress. I am unable to proceed from here.
Can anyone please help me.
The system that I am using is ASUS ROG GL552VW laptop with the below specifications
8 GB RAM
Nvidia 960 M 4GB
Intel i7 6700HQ.

With nVidia you probably need nomodeset. But your Asus may also need pci=nomsi.
At grub menu you can use e for edit, scroll to linux line and replace quiet splash with nomodeset.

Once installed, you should only need nomodeset until you install the nVidia driver from Ubuntu repository. Do not install directly from nVidia.
