I'm in my bios, then selected to boot from USB where the Ubuntu Mate 19.04 iso is. a GNU GRUB 2.02 menu appears with options:

Try Ubuntu Mate without installing
Try Ubuntu Mate without installing (safe graphics)
Install Ubuntu Mate
Install Ubuntu Mate (safe graphics)

Every option I choose, my screen goes black and does nothing. Feeling pretty helpless as there are basically no tutorials for this.

If you cannot boot into a live USB, it is very likely that your problem is one or more of the following:

Wrong/Corrupted .ISO

  • Make certain that you have downloaded the correct .ISO for your hardware. For example, older computers with i386 architecture cannot run the .ISO file for x64 systems.

  • Before writing the .ISO to DVD or USB, verify the checksum for your ISO.

.ISO Written Improperly to Disk

  • To Burn a DVD, use Brasero to "Burn Image" (Burn an existing CD/DVD image to disk)

  • To make a bootable USB, use an automated tool like Etcher to select your .ISO file and the USB device.

Faulty/Misconfigured Hardware

  • The USB flash drive that you are using may have bad sectors.

  • The DVD you burned may have encountered an error during burning

  • Your hard drive, motherboard, power supply, etc may have hardware problems, unrelated to software, that do not allow the installer to continue.

  • Your motherboard BIOS may be set to only boot to UEFI or BIOS (compatibility-mode), and you selected the option that is not allowed, so you must change the settings in the motherboard firmware to allow the mode you want to boot from.
