It almost certainly is the combo of Intel and NVidia cards - I have regularly had this issue when trying out a Live USB or installing from a Live USB. The nouveau
driver in the initramfs
sometimes seems to have trouble working with the NVidia card, you can disable it during the boot to allow start-up and then decide how to handle the NVidia card once the system is running.
To disable at boot: Interrupt the boot menu, press E
to edit the kernel line, linux16
, and add the following to the end of the line:
modprobe.blacklist=nouveau
, Ctrl-X
to continue the boot.
If you want, you can now locate and install the NVidia binary driver, but you should also permanently disable the nouveau
driver by following this guide:

file for boot time loading.
Try the compativility video mode on the DVD
this option would be void, my computer has no DVD drive, try to get an external dvd, thanks
The Live USB also has that option.
