Error starting/installing Linux Lite 3.8 and 4.0
#1
I have a Dell Inspiron laptop with 4GB of RAM and an i3 processor. It used to run Linux Lite 3.8 just fine. Now I installed Linux 4.0 and it hasn't really been working since then. I was able to run it on 4.0 at first, but now it doesn't boot and just shows a black loading screen.

I tried inserting the flash drive installer to boot my laptop in safe mode, but each time I do so, the machine just freezes as shown in the photo below. The same thing happens when I insert my 3.8 flash drive installer and attempt to boot in safe mode.

Can anyone please help? I can't use my laptop Sad

Well since you can't use it anyway, shut it off, take out all the batteries, hold down the power button, then put them back in. Afterwards In the BIOS make sure all the hardware is recognized and USBs are turned on, and secure boot and fast boot are disabled, before you boot from the USB. I can't read from the image you posted, but it looks like the video card is cycling through all the TTYs. Might be an easier way if I could read the output.
