Do you run a nvidia linux driver? try nomodeset in kernel boot line. To set kernel boot options, you must edit your grub configuration. You can do this temporarily for a single boot by entering the grub menu. If you do not get to see the grub boot menu after the bios automatically, you may have to press SHIFT key after the bios logo to get in to grub:
Select the default ubuntu kernel (usually the top one), and rather than pressing enter, press E to edit.
