Can't get any Linux distribution to boot

Post by rimes888 »

I've installed VBox on my Lenovo G780 with Windows 7 and tried to run Mint and Ubuntu, however without success. Ubuntu gets installed, but it freezes and all I see is the standard wallpaper. Mint keeps saying it will automatically boot in a couple of seconds...

Any advice on how to troubleshoot this? I'd be very grateful
