I have ASUS Rog GL 552 VW Dh71 laptop . Link

I am not able to install Ubuntu or any Linux on my machine. I tried installation with Ubuntu 14.04, 15.10 and 16.04 beta 2 with no success.

My screen goes black after pressing install Ubuntu on grub in 16.04 and I receive error messages

in 14.04 and 15.10, what should I do ?

Best Answer

Boot from Ubuntu installation media and select Try Ubuntu without installing.
Press the E key and add nouveau.modeset=0 at the end of the linux line.
Press the F10 key to boot into the desktop, start installation of Ubuntu.

When finished, boot the installed system, select the Ubuntu GRUB menu entry.
Press the E key and add nouveau.modeset=0 at the end of the linux line.
Press the F10 key to boot into Ubuntu system, install the NVIDIA drivers.

Reboot the system - from now on you don't have to add a parameter any more.

Important : Set a space between the last character in the linux line and nouveau.modeset=0.
