From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No, I am not. The installation media will show a black screen as well
Does it give you anything? Can you select safe mode or nomodeset from the grub menu, or do you get no grub menu at all? I almost pulled the trigger on a used getac system a while back, but couldn't justify the cost. If you get it working, please tell me how it goes under Linux!
absolutely no grub or anything. this is probably my fault somehow though because ive heard of other people using it fine, and the overall compatibility was decent when it booted.
Okay, did you change anything, perhaps BIOS settings? You did mention it booted just fine the first time with liveUSB.
I've tried changing a lot of different settings and also reset to default a few times, but no luck.
