[Brittany Fleischer]

I spoken too soon. Ubuntu loaded up fine and it seems that my screen started flickering for a few secs and then it froze. It happen twice so far. I had to unplug the power supply plug to shut off my computer.

I had a couple of blank screens which cause me to keep rebooting, I had to unplug the power supply plug a few times before I got anything. eventually it seems to work after. 

What do you think caused this problem? is it a simple reset that was required?

During boot, press ESC to get to the grub menu.  Select the recovery

Let us know if it boots.
