Monitor shuts off when trying to install Ubuntu or Mint

[besta86gumball]

I've been trying to install either Ubuntu or Mint on my PC but whenever I boot from my pendrive and click on "Install Ubuntu" the screen goes black and never comes back... I know that the install menu is open because when I pressed some keys (think it was F6 that triggered it) I heard a sound coming trough my headphones. Also mouse and keyboard were lit up which means they were connected.

My PC has 16GB of ram, ryzen 5 1600 and a r9 380 2g and i'm using a DVI to VGA adapter on my graphics card because my monitor uses VGA and the r9 380 doesn't have a VGA output.

I don't think there is a problem with the pen drive, I've used the same that I used to install Ubuntu on my Laptop and it worked fine there.

What version are you trying to install?

Tried both 18.04 and 18.10

Moved to General Help, as we are now doing Disco (19.04) testing.
