New installation not booting - blackscreen

[dalolo]

Hi,

When it goes to the blackscreen, do you have a white cursor blinking in the top left?
i.e. a white blicking, "_"

Also, I notice it's a notebook so it could be that the display is being sent to the external connector(s)... not always the OS'se fault since I had this on different platforms.

Hi TheDead,
thanks for your input - I gave up on LinuxLite or any other Ubuntu based distro now and have another distribution installed and running nicely so I can't try anything out anymore. I won't put any more time into it now but thanks anyway!

Though I can tell you that there was no cursor - just a pitch black screen...
And the system seemed to be caught in some kind of loop - as it was heating up like hell until I relieved it from its misery with a hard shut down (holding the power key did already hurt somewhat due to the heat ).

When trying to get into grub I just got "GRUB loading." for a split second and then again a black screen without anything - but then without heating up that much.

I tried to find something out by booting with my live USB stick and accessing the installed system's logs but I just found empty files there...
