wrong, "nomodeset" seems more popular nouveau.blacklist.

there 2 articles in ubuntu community documentation might you. first describes common problems cd, , called bootfromcd, unlikely in case. second describes using boot options handle quirks hardware, , called bootoptions. have seen, 1 or other of them solves @ least 90% of problems.

however, there's no question there frequent problems latest hardware such motherboard , video card.
