[SOLVED ]Cannot boot into ubuntu from Windows 10 with any of three methods tried [on hold]
I recently purchased a new computer that came with windows 10, and I would like to put Ubuntu (only, no dual-boot) on it. But no matter what I try, I can't boot into the installer.
- When I put the Ubuntu ISO onto a flash drive and tried to boot from it, it simply boots up normally and dosn't see the flash drive.
- When I put the Ubuntu ISO onto a CD and tried to boot from that, it shows the 5-dots ubuntu screen, and then the process begins, but then it gets stuck on "A start job is running for Hold until boot process finishes up". It hangs there and the minutes/seconds don't change.
- And finally, when I try to go to the BIOS by going Troubleshoot>Advanced Settings>UEFI Bios Settings, I just get a blank black screen even though my computer is still on.
I feel that there's a step that I'm missing/not trying. I've already turned off fast boot.
[SOLVED]
I had the monitor plugged into the wrong output card.

Did you disable fast startup in windows? Windows by default hibernates when you click shutdown.

Did you verify the integrity of your Ubuntu ISO after download?

You said you "put the Ubuntu iso onto a flash drive", did you drag + drop the iso onto it or use a program like Etcher?

No, I turned it into a bootable with startup disk creator.

What kind of computer (make, model)? Steps to access the BIOS/UEFI settings are quite variable depending on what computer. Here's a link to the steps to take to get to the BIOS via Windows 10 that should work with most (any?).
https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/access-bios-windows-10
Can you test the flash drive on another computer to see if it will boot? I've found some USB 3 drives that would not work to boot from. Also, make sure the image is created on a system that is booted from UEFI if you're trying to install that way.
If the cd won't boot another computer, try burning it at a lower speed.
