I have this brand new Acer Aspire v5-573g-54208g50akk laptop. I started the preinstalled Windows 8 and then changed the boot priority to USB. But right after I choose Install Ubuntu or Try Ubuntu on the menu screen, the screen goes black and nothing happens.

I used Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.4.5 to create a bootable USB stick. I used this program on a different laptop before and it worked.

I tried different USB Sticks

I tried Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 13.10

Nothing helped :/

Before hitting the Button "Install Ubuntu"

  1. Press F6
  2. Choose "nomodeset"

now it should Install, after installing you have also to enter it in the GRUB.

You can find both here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
