I bought a new Laptop. Lenovo Y500 with the Intel Quad and GT650 SLI configuration. (maybe this is important)

I set the whole thing up to load Legacy BIOS primary. As usual I installed on the HDD Windows. In parallel, I installed Ubuntu on the internal mSATA 16GB SSD. Creating only 2 partitions, root and swap, both in the SSD. Also the bootloader is placed on the SSD, so I manually decide on every boot which drive and for that which OS should be loaded.

After the installation Ubuntu keeps only loading a black screen. When I hold Shift while staring, I get a GRUB loading. and absolutely nothing more. I cannot even switch with Ctrl-Alt-F1/2/3... to any console. Odd thing is that Ubuntu runs fine, when I start it in live-mode directly from the USB-drive.

I'm kinda clueless how to solve this problem, cause I'm not that "pro" with Linux, but like to do little works with it. Just tried to install 15.04, the "beta" 15.10 and for variety a Mint distro with Cinnamon. All leading to the same problem.
