Are you sure the purple screen is from the Ubuntu setup? It sounds like the system doesn't recognize a proper boot device. But you could check by pressing the arrow key to the right (actually don't really think it matters which arrow key you use) to get into the custom install menu. You can choose extra options from there making sure the screen doesn't go black. Check the link for more info.

ubuntu 14.04 black screen when installing

Good luck!

  • @DavidFoerster This was a self-answer by the OP who found out the problem cause himself finally. Instead of voting to delete the answer, you should have rather closed the question as not reproducible because of hardware failure. (Thanks for reading! This is not to criticise you, but just to help you taking the right action next time of course.) – Byte Commander Jan 18 '16 at 18:29
  • @ByteCommander: Alright. I've already voted to close for irreproducibility a while ago. – David Foerster Jan 19 '16 at 08:13
