Trying to do a fresh install on Dell Precision 5810 tower. Made a bootable USB stick with the ISO as usual. Booted it on a custom computer I have with MSI mobo and it booted and installed fine.
Tried the same stick on the Dell this morning and it boots to the grub menu where you can choose "try" or "install". I've tried both but they both just go to a blank screen and then eventually my monitor turns off. I have no idea how to get any diagnostic info.

I should also mention that this Dell had Ubuntu 17 on it (previously, it currently has Win10). So I know the older version worked fine.

Anyone have any clue as to what I could do???
