Black Screen after booting from USB to Install
This is my first try on the Ubuntu.
The original laptop is running :
Asus A43S Intel i5
Windows 10 (free upgrade from window 7 during the window 10 introduction period)
4Gb RAM
Nvidia GT-520M
Created the bootable USB using Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.8.7, with the BIOS ubuntu-18.04.2-desktop-amd64
Booted into BIOS using F2 button, selected to boot from USB (UEFI enabled)
Popped up the selection page, Try Ubuntu without installing, install Ubuntu etc.
Tried both option, the results are the same.
Right after selection the screen goes black (but the background was lit and the fan started running a little faster)
This remains the same for over an hour without any progress.
Is my machine too old to run Ubuntu?
Any idea how do i fix this?

You don't need to go to bios and select boot from usb:
It can also be done by "boot selection menu" by using "ESC" key
:or google the boot keys for your device:
Once you enter boot menu: "select the uefi driver in which you installed ubuntu.."
If it dosent work try to install ubntu on a Dvd using PowerIso software
and after installing it on DvD try to boot it from "boot selection menu"
