I'm not able to get the Ubuntu-Gnome setup to run from the USB stick.
I've disabled UEFI in the bios and disabled windows 10 fast start feature.
when selecting the USB stick as the boot source then the boot source
is being accessed the screen changes to black with the cursor sitting
at the top left blinking - nothing happens, even waiting for 5 minutes.
Installed the stick using unetbootin-windows-613
Any suggestions, help will be appreciated.
Thank you
Before giving any installation advice we should know the answers to
these questions:
(1) Is this going to be a dual-boot with Windows? If so Ubuntu should be
installed in the same "mode" (UEFI or BIOS) as Windows. But there are
also other caveats to consider. Always back up any important data just
in case the absolute worst happens.
(2) Which version of Ubuntu are you trying to install? You may find
Trusty to be more stable and/or suitable with that hardware than Wily.
(3) Have you run the "Check disc for errors" boot option from the
advanced boot menu:

The boot screen looks different if booting in UEFI mode:

There are some other hints about installing in UEFI mode at that link.
You may also find some good hints here:

BTW the forums might be a more efficient place to request installation help.
