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

I made Ubuntu 12.04 USB stick with unetbootin. When I select my USB drive in boot menu, I immediately get a black screen and blinking cursor. What causes this?

This sounds like a bad USB image, try checking the MD5 of the download before making the USB stick. — Jorge Castro, Apr 30 '12 at 03:11

I suggest that you make it with Linux Live USB Creator - http://www.linuxliveusb.com. If the problem still occurs try changing the flash drive. Hope this helps.
