Hi,<br>
I downloaded 14.04, checked MD5, burned to a USP stick using
unetbootin.<br>
Booted from the USB stick, ckecked disk, all OK.<br>
Clicked on "Try Ubuntu" and the screen went grey and then this
appeared:<br>

The computer is a Lenovo U410 with Windows 8.1 update 1
installed.<br>
Alive USB stick with 13.04 on it works perfectly OK.<br>
<br>
Can anyone suggest anything?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
