I try to install Ubuntu and Mint on my PC, but no Version works :(

I put the OS on a USB-Stick and let them boot. All i get is:

With SLI: Blackscreen after the Ubuntu-Logo. After a view seconds the Monitors goes off.

Without SLI:

  • My Monitor goes off (Blackscreen)
  • I come to a Login-Screen with Username and Password => I don't know any Password or Username

Mint can't run the "X Service". May by they haven't any graphics card driver on board.

I can't run the LIVE-System or install the OS.

I try it on follow System:

  • MB: ASUS X99 Deluxe
  • CPU: Intel i7 5930K
  • RAM: 16GB DDR4
  • GPU: 2x nVidia GeForce GTX 980 (SLI)
  • 2 Monitors connected with Displayport or HDMI.

I think my hardware is not supported on Linux.

Someone know a fix for that?

  • Have you tried adding nomodeset to the boot options when you boot from the USB stick? You choose "custom options" (I think that's what it's called) at the boot screen by pressing F6, then add nomodeset to the end of them. –  May 13 '16 at 22:01
  • After a view tests, i know more. My hardware is not supported.To be precise, my graphiccards are not supported. If i install Ubuntu 14.04 it works fine. But only if i connect a monitor with HDMI or DVI. With Displayport i can only use a resolution of 800x600. If i update to 16.04 i cant use the keyboard and mouse or any USB-Device. Ubuntu laggs like hell and make some errors on the updateprocess. – Hoerli May 15 '16 at 09:08
  • Please have a look at the following Q&A and try again: Live CD asks for a username and password – LiveWireBT Dec 11 '16 at 21:21
