Ubuntu – ubuntu 14.04 black screen when installing

bootsystem-installation

I'm new in this forum.

I know, that this is an old problem and I have been reading other questions regarding this. However, I've been unable to find the solution.

I've been trying to install Ubuntu 14.04 on my Asus Vivobook F200MA machine from USB, but the screen goes black, if I choose any of the options. It is a new machine, with only freedos on it.

If I follow the instructions on

My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it?

it still doesn't work.

SATA is set to AHCI,
Secure Boot is disabled,
CSM is enabled.

Do you have any ideas, how I could install it?

Edit:

I have tried:

  • checking the usb for errors (no errors),
  • verified the integrity (alright),
  • disabled the secure boot
  • enabled csm
  • set SATA to AHCI from the menu (try without installing, install and
    check for defects) because the screen goes black.

I had this problem and solved using the nomodeset mentioned by @Xubu-Tur along with the nolapic. This last one was necessary otherwise it woudn't work, but I am assuming you can get to the installation window (it is not clear in your question), like shown below:

EDIT:

I see. I think the options beneath allow you to edit the boot parameters. If that is the case, then you can set the boot parameters adding "nomodeset" and "nolapic" to the same place of the "quiet" and "splash". In the end it should be something like (...) quiet splash nomodeset nolapic (...). In the link you provided in the question there is an example (the guy removed the quiet splash, but I don't think that is necessary).
