I'm having trouble installing ubuntu 14.04 on the system in my sig. I have a stable 12.04 I've been using for a while. Intial symptoms were that when I tried boot from a live 14.04 DVD (known to be good, I've used it to both try and install on another computer) was that it got to the ubuntu splash, then threw up a blank screen before it got to the choice between Try Ubuntu and Install Ubuntu.
So I tried:
1) Burning a new installer DVD, I was able to boot and Try Ubuntu from that on another system, but got the same results on my sig system.
2) Removed "quiet splash" from the boot options. With this disabled it works through a ton of verbose boot stuff until it gets to:
and then everything goes black and doesn't recover.
I'm not sure where to go from here, anyone have any suggestions?
Edited to add/clarify:
1) I have secure boot disabled
2) My boot drive has an ubuntu 12.04 and a win7 partition, that are dual-booting happily with grub2.
