Low-graphics mode error during installation

Question

I downloaded ubuntu 14.04 and made a bootable USB stick. When try to install it or even try ubuntu without istallation i get "The system is running in low graphics mode" error. I cannot click ok, enter does not work (i guess whole keyboard). Literally nothing i can do. Would appreciate any help. Haven't tried ubuntu 15 yet.

This question refers to non-installed system.

Windows 8.1 Asus r556ld Ubuntu 14.04

You can use nomodeset kernel parameter to boot, then you can install the system and install a video driver. http://askubuntu.com/a/162076/167850 — Pilot6, Jul 03 '15 at 09:43

You can follow this guide to boot with nomodeset kernel parameter when booting from LiveUSB.

Then you will be able to install the system.

If the installed system still does start GUI, then you can use same method.

After all is installed you will probably need to install a proprietary video driver, because it looks like open source drivers do not support your video adapter well.
