How weird is this?
Got exactly the same results with another USB stick.
In a sort of lateral thinking mode, I tried one of the sticks in a USB 2 port instead of a USB 3 port.
Guess what? They both work OK.
Looks like there's a problem with the Live USB stick and USB 3 ports.

Can you try a different USB stick, just in case the one you're using has developed a hardware issue?

If that fails, try downloading the alternate installer.

    Nope - got the coloured Ubuntu splash screen, then just a pale
    grey blank screen....

    Try the "install ubuntu" option. For me this option boots into

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

        The computer is a Lenovo U410 with Windows 8.1 update 1
        installed.
        Alive USB stick with 13.04 on it works perfectly OK.

        Can anyone suggest anything?

        Cheers

        Gordon
