Hello, final solution is as follows: In short, nouveau is making ubuntu freeze, so we're booting around it and choosing nvidia drivers to run after full install.
boot from usb try ubuntu install ubuntu from desktop, choose erase disk restart if at ubuntu 14.04, sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo do-release-upgrade restart when needed press esc at startup to get bios move over to the far right tab and choose override boot to ubuntu go to advanced options go to recovery mode go to search your computer, software and updates > additional drivers choose nvidia and intel After these steps the only thing not working for me was my earphones, which was detected but not outputting based on me plugging it in and out and watching my computer detect type of output in sound settings.
