Ubuntu 18.04 at boot

When I boot Ubuntu 18.04 at startup from grub menu, I get stuck on a black screen.

I tried changing in grub.cfg file, the line quiet splash to nomodeset and nomodeset quiet splash. It seem to have worked when it was loading all the system files but then it got stuck again.

Here are my system specs:

Asus ROG G551VW
Intel core i7 6700HQ
16 GB RAM
Nvidia Geforce GTX 960M
Intel HD Graphics 530

Also fast boot is disabled and so is secure boot.

Sometimes it runs by nomodeset, but then again I have no idea how to load intel graphics driver in Ubuntu since I kept on getting 800x600 resolution and no other.

What to do?

Already tried this: My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it?

Now it's not starting with even nomodeset when I installed Nvidia drivers.

Boot with nomodeset, disable Secure Boot and install Nvidia driver. – Pilot6 Jul 01 '18 at 13:08
Yes after I installed nvidia driver, it's not even loading with nomodeset, let alone with quiet splash. What to do now? – Sank_BE Jul 01 '18 at 13:10
How did you install the driver? – Pilot6 Jul 01 '18 at 13:11
sudo apt-get install nvidia-375 ?? – Sank_BE Jul 01 '18 at 13:12
Were there any errors? You can always remove it by sudo apt purge "nvidia.*" – Pilot6 Jul 01 '18 at 13:14
None. Message was that it was installed. Then I rebooted, black screen again. Again I opened grub.cfg, changed to nomodeset and then pressed ctrl+X, but this time even this didn't work. – Sank_BE Jul 01 '18 at 13:16

nomodeset is not set in grub.cfg. You need to enter it in grub prompt, or permanently add it to /etc/default/grub. – Pilot6 Jul 01 '18 at 13:22
How shall I do that? I am not able to open ubuntu as of now, even in recovery mode. Thanks. – Sank_BE Jul 01 '18 at 13:26
Follow the instructions in the duplicate. – Fabby Jul 02 '18 at 19:00
