Recently I received a Windows computer as a gift. Now I am trying to install Ubuntu alongside Windows 8.1.

After using Universal USB installer to create a bootable flash drive from Ubuntu 14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso. I attempted to try Ubuntu without installing it to make sure it worked okay.

After my computer showed the ubuntu startup screen, the kernel crashed with an error.

Computer specifics:

  • Windows 8.1
  • Intel Core i5-4210U
  • Lenovo G50-70

Here's a screenshot of the error message: error

Edit: After creating a bootable flash drive via LiLi from ubuntu-14.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso, booting was successful.

Given the kernel panic you've shown (the Windows one might help as well), I would have to wager that this is a memory / RAM issue.

What you should do for the time being to pinpoint the actual issue:

  1. Reboot your machine.
  2. When the boot menu shows up (shown below), select the first Memory Test.
  3. Let it run. Note any errors.

Please post back with any info from the test(s).

Downloading the newest version(14.04.2) and then using LiLi to create the live USB successfully solved the problem.
