I hope you can help me out. I have some experience with Ubuntu using it for +5 years now at work and home. But if the initial installation steps fail, I am screwed.
Ubuntu starts from USB stick into GRUB, where I select the live OS. But then, after a few seconds, it just shows an all black screen when connected to displayport, or all pink screen when HDMI. That's all.
I tried Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS and Mint 18.2.
My PC specs:
- Ryzen 1600X
- Gigabyte GA-AB350 Gaming 3
- G.Skill FlareX DDR4-3200 16GB
- Samsung 960 Evo 500GB M.2
- MSI GeForce GTX 970 GAMING 4G
- Dell S2716D (Displayport 1.2a, 2560 x 1440, 144Hz, G-sync)
It might be because of the high resolution, or displayport? Or do I need special BIOS settings?
I tried booting the USB stick on my notebook. That works.
Finally, I want a dual boot system with Windows 10.
I would really appreciate your help!
