I do not think your issue is solved by the choice of boot loader. It is the configuration of the system and or boot options that you can add.
The live installer is configured for the lowest common denominator to boot just about anything. But once installed "better" configuration is installed but then you may need boot options or additional drivers.
It also can be related to BIOS settings.
I do not know AMD as I have nVidia, but I always have to use nomodeset boot option until I install proprietary drivers.
At grub menu you can use e for edit, scroll to linux line and replace quiet splash with nomodeset.

I did the opposite with my Windows 7 repair flash drive. Syslinux is a Windows type boot loader that uses boot flag and has boot code in Partition boot sector. With my Windows repair flash drive I just installed grub to it and chainloaded a standard Windows boot stanza to the partition boot sector. The only issue I had to be careful of was Windows already had a /Boot partition can grub wants to create a /boot partition. In Linux those would be different, but in Windows you cannot have both as it is not case sensitive. So grub & BCD coexist in same boot folder.
