Installing Ubuntu 13.04 on HP Pavilion g4 laptop

Question

I'm trying to install Ubuntu 13.04 on my HP Pavilion g4 laptop ( Intel Core i3, 2GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce 610M with 1GB built-in memory), but I can't install it.

First I booted from the DVD drive and Choose language, and then my laptop screen went black. I waited for a long time, but it's still just a black screen.

How to install Ubuntu on my laptop?
Is Ubuntu 13.04 compatible with my laptop?

My suggestion would be to use a different USB drive to mount the ISO and redo the process, because some USB drives are known to have problems with ISOs.

Don't go for the DVD drive option, as it is much slower as compared to USB install.

I would also recommend Wubi(Windows Installer) if you are dual-booting with Windows. It will be easier to remove Ubuntu if you ever need to.
