In reply to Micky D's post on November 17, I fail to see why this is a solution considering RAM and graphics were working fine in my prior OS - Windows 7 Ultimate x64 I know, my computer was running fine on windows 7 Ultimate x64 as well, then this happened with the installer, this is what fixed it.
Windows 8 is very strict about hardware problems, much more so than windows 7. Sharjeel Atif. I have a Dell Inspiron N core i3. The screen freezes during installation. Sounds like a potential bad HDD. Run some diagnostics on that or the actual optical drive. Try it in an external DVD drive and see if it does the same thing.
Some DVD drives cause issues. Had one that would power but wouldn't read discs and if a disc was in the drive when it booted, it just hung at POST. I know the computer works because it was running windows 8 just fine, but we have to run windows 7 here.
So we have a full copy of windows 7 pro, and that's what won't install. I wiped the HDD just in case there was something on there blocking it too. Ah, you hadn't mentioned the Windows 8 factor? Is it an HP? Shuts down the ability to run 8 but allows everything before that. Try that out and let me know.
I just had a thought, and used the jumper to clear the CMOS and tried again. Sometimes when I try to connect to my WIFI, it connects successfully, but when I press the "continue" button, the installer freezes and nothing happens.
Sometimes I get past this point, but it then freezes later on in the installation progress - typically right when I press the "Install now" button.
It should also be mentioned that, if I press the "Quit" button in the install. I get to a black screen with a lot of text saying something like squashfs error.
Can someone please help me? Could this be it? Are there any downsides to installing an operating system in legacy? I found a solution to my problem. I just used a different USB-thumb drive, and that did the trick.
If the Ubuntu installer either does not start or starts and then freezes, press the F6 key and enable the nomodeset kernel boot option. Safe Graphics Mode. A new option is added to the GRUB menu in This may help you resolve issues on certain graphics cards and allow you to boot and install any proprietary drivers needed by your system.
From the purple ubuntu screen press the F6 key. Sometimes the manufacturer's splash screen is a part of the Windows bootloader, so when you power up the machine it goes straight to the GNU GRUB menu screen, and then pressing Shift is unnecessary.
After pressing F6, press Enter on nomodeset and an "x" will appear to the left of the option. Press Esc to leave the popup menu. The selections are retained at the time the user presses the Esc key.
Then use the down arrow key to highlight the Install Ubuntu option and press the Enter key to select it. Ubuntu Community Ask! Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top. Stack Overflow for Teams — Collaborate and share knowledge with a private group.
