I have downloaded 14.04.02 image : ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso but when I make a bootable USB out of it and install it my Laptop screen Goes black after I select "Install Ubuntu" option. I have no problem in creating and installing 12.04.02 image : ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso image. I am having HP ELiteBook 8470P with Intel Core I5. I am using Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.9.exe to create the USB disk on Windows. Any Idea what wrong I am doing.

I've seen a case of Ubuntu 14.04.2 on VirtualBox, that boots and automatically switches to tty3, which is empty.
You can test, if it's the same problem by waiting 20-40 seconds and press ALT+F1, to switch to tty1. If you see login prompt there, it's the same problem. If not, it's something else.

in my case I am stuck at the step of installation, Booting itself is far away ! – softy Jun 12 '15 at 10:01

Sorry, I missed one thing: choose "boot as live cd" option (I don't remember its exact name now). Then it will try to boot. Then try ALT+F1. – Tomasz Klim Jun 12 '15 at 10:02

If it doesn't react to ALT+F1 or CTRL+ALT+F1, then it's compatibility problem, most probably with graphics card or pen drive, or it's caused by broken image, or broken pen drive itself. – Tomasz Klim Jun 12 '15 at 10:05
