Hey there,
I am trying to install Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS on my MSI GL62 Laptop, so I can run both Windows 10 and Unbuntu on it.
I downloaded the ISO from the official Ubuntu site and made a bootable USB flash according to the official steps, however when I hit "install Ubuntu" it will take me to the Purple Ubuntu screen with 5 dots, which will then light up as a loading pattern, only to freeze very quickly.

My PC specs are the following:
Laptop: MSI GL62 6QF
CPU: i7-6700HQ 2.6GHz
RAM: 8Gb
GPU: Nvidia GTX 960M
SSD: 250 GB
HDD: 1 TB

I have looked online and tried uninstalling my Nividia drivers, but that didn't help.
I have never installed Unbuntu before, so if anyone could help me here that would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!
