My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it?
Whenever I try to boot using the ISO from the website, it brings up the loading screen, where it promptly takes 3-5 minutes, and then either a) crashes to an artifact screen (blue/green pixels everywhere, light grey boxes) or b) crashes to a console screen wherein it brings up a bunch of gibberish of starting and stopping a bunch of processes (what I assumed to be what goes on behind the loading screen?). This has happened to me using both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions from Ubuntu's website. I also tried Wubi but it just got stuck at the loading screen for the 15 minutes I let it run.
This is all in an attempt to dual boot Windows 7 64-bit and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. My laptop is an ASUS with a core i5 at 3GHz, nVidia 350m, 4GB ram, 500GB HDD.
Any help appreciated! Thanks folks!
