My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it?
32 answers
Since yesterday I have been trying to boot Ubuntu on my PC running Windows 10 using USB and DVD to install a dual boot, but both of them failed.
Here is what I've tried and some info on my hardware and software:
First Try:
- Defragged my hard drives
- Made a bootable 8GB USB drive with Universal-USB-Installer
- Changed my boot options to boot USB first and CD/DVD first
Tried booting a few times but didn't work using:
- NFTS formatting
- FAT32 formatting
(for all of my tries I was using the "testing" version meaning directly on my drive)
I had one or two "successful tries" in the beginning using FAT32 formatted USB. The boot screen and Ubuntu loadscreen were OK, but once X started with the graphical interface nothing was clickable.
So I retried and then everything seemed to work the gray box appeared when I was hovering over an icon, but when I clicked on firefox nothing was clickable any more.
After that every time I wanted to retry booting the Ubuntu loadscreen got stuck on the same point (the second orange dotted line bar second point)
I felt stuck so I tried using a DVD. This time I had the Ubuntu load screen work perfectly but once finished my screen goes black and I can't do anything but restart my computer (I tried ctrl+alt+[f1|f2|f3|f4|f5|f6|f7] but nothing happened) at this point of black screen my blue-ray reader stops reading/turning.
Moreover I tried using another USB installer called Rufus. But it didn't work. And if there is one thing that seems to be consistently occuring it's that once I "successfully" start a desktop with my device it stops working for the next tries until I rewrite the ISO file to the device (USB / DVD)
The boot screen I have is a black screen prompting me to:
- Try
- Install
- Or do something else I forgot
(If I am not mistaken that means I am booting with UEFI, so I turned off the secure boot mode)
My Computer:
- 64bit HP Omen 1 year of age and 17" screen
- Intel Core i7 CPU
- GeFoce Nvidia 1050 GPU
- Running Windows 10 Familly ver 10.0.17134
- With 128GB SSD and 1TB Hard drive
The software I used:
- Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.8.1
- CDBurnerXP ver 4.5.8.6795
- Rufus version 2.18
The ISO File I downloaded: ubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64
Thank for any help and even reading this question all the way to here.
PS: I don't have a very good technical vocabulary so I might have mistaken one word for another.

I've had this problem on earlier versions(ctl-alt-f1 through f6 not responding with a terminal if something spinloops).On my box (an older version of ubuntu) I have to wait for the desktop and let the compositor crash and restart it from some not terminal 7 to get it to start working right. In my case, it's because I installed lxqt and tweaked the compositor to be kwin when I usually use XFCE with compiz. So, mine was a super-corner-case. It sounds like the same problem though. Boot takes longer than normal, but it's because I have loads of services installed and some of them are blockers.

Since you have nVidia, you need nomodeset boot parameter. Be sure to boot in UEFI mode and first screens here are BIOS boot, see later screens: askubuntu.com/questions/162075/… You also need nomodeset after install, until you install nVidia driver from Ubuntu repository. You replace quiet splash wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters UEFI: help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI & askubuntu.com/questions/221835/…

Thank you for your help, I am trying multiple alternatives to my problem. I was already using the UEFI mode and I am now trying to put nomodeset.

Hello once more I have been changing trying many possibilities but I haven't tried changing my SATA to AHCI, I'm fearful of the possible impacts it coumld have on my computer kowing that windows wont be able to boot once I set it. I know It could easly be toggled back but I have been tweeking many things I don't realy understand. So if any one has an other suggestion... After what I will ask derectly ask someone which might have the answer.
