Ubuntu won't load past Bios
System was running well for months. Out of nowhere yesterday began having issue loading Ubuntu 18.10. I did move around my desk so maybe shock did something to hard drive?
Right now when I let machine run it shows bios then black, no Ubuntu screen. When I load os from grub in safe mode it loads Ubuntu completely. When I load alternate normal modes in grub they don't work.
I reinstalled Ubuntu fresh from CD yesterday and same issues after installation. I reset the bios and the same issues happen as well.
It's odd since the bios works, grub works, and hard drive is okay when I load in safe mode - all my personal files are there. But somehow in between, in regular loading, something is wrong.
I think it's hardware problem but not sure what?

There's a known problem with the -14 kernel that came out via Software Updater. At GRUB, choose to boot an older kernel like -13, and it'll probably boot fine. Then just watch Software Updater for a newer kernel release.

Good. Now just watch Software Updater for a kernel update newer than -14. Install it, and then reboot using the normal "Ubuntu" selection on the GRUB menu.
