I have an ACER Aspire laptop. Model number is E5-573G-56RG. Kept getting black screen and checked this post Getting a black screen when installing or Live booting Ubuntu (any version) in my laptop and he said to downgrade from bios v1.25 to v1.13. you no longer have to do this, acer came out with an update and i can confirm that all you have to do now is upgrade to v1.37 from acer's website http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers I was trying to post this in the comments but the dumb ass rules wont let me. anyways, this is much easier than downgrading and probably better since there are a lot of fixes lost by downgrading.

Thank you for your contribution but answering the question would have been more appropriate than posting a new 'question'. Once you gain enough reputation, you will be able to comment. Calling names is not a good start for that. – Marc Vanhoomissen Mar 21 '17 at 16:30

UPDATE BIOS TO v1.37 and ubuntu will boot. get it from here http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers and install it in windows. ubuntu will boot after off of a USB for sure.
