I've installed Ubuntu on several other machines but cant get it to run on my new build. I'v created a bootable USB drive using the official 15.10 iso from ubuntu using pendrive linux. Secure boot is disabled, fast boot is disabled and IOMMU is enabled. When booting from USB the I get the list where I select "Install Ubuntu." The Ubuntu Logo screen appears and then I get this error screen:

Here is my BIOS Info:

BIOS info

System info:

  • Gigabyte GA 970 Gaming
  • AMD FX 8320
  • GTX 960 4gb SSC
  • 16gb Crucial Ram
  • Kingston 120gm SSD (Reserved for Linux install)
  • M2 SSD (Running Windows OS)
  • WD 1TB HDD (Windows Storage)

Any ideas on how to get past this?

I've had some issues with a usb and 15.10 too. I solved it by going old-school, burn the iso to a dvd and installed it that way. Maybe this works for you too, if not.... Well, at least you tried.

You are facing an NVIDIA graphics related issue ... and that is what you have to do :

Step 1 : Ubuntu system installation

Boot from the installation media and select Try Ubuntu without installing.
Press the E key - add nouveau.modeset=0 at the end of the linux line.
Set a Space between the last character in the linux line and nouveau.modeset=0.
Press the F10 key to boot into the Ubuntu Live desktop and now install Ubuntu.

Step 2 : NVIDIA drivers installation

When finished reboot the system and now select the Ubuntu menu entry.
Press the E key - add nouveau.modeset=0 at the end of the linux line.
Set a Space between the last character in the linux line and nouveau.modeset=0.
Press the F10 key to boot into the Ubuntu system and install the NVIDIA drivers.

Reboot the Ubuntu system ... now you don't have to add the parameter any more.
