ubuntu 18 Hangs on logo then black screen
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on an Inspiron E1705 PC.
It seems to install correctly (I've tried multiple times on dvd-r and on usb) but when I restart It is doing two things:
It hangs when starting up at the ubuntu screen (the scrolling dots freeze in place) after a minute or so, then the screen turns off completely (not just black but no backlighting or anything) and neither mouse clicks nor button presses do anything. I eventually have to press and hold the power button to get it to turn off.
I ran advanced options for it, but whatever I do it hangs on
[ OK ] Started Load/Save RF Kill Switches.
Anyone know whats going on here? I'm trying to do a complete reset and install, it had KODIOS on it before, Windows 10 and Ubuntu before that.
MAJOR EDIT: When I run Ubuntu in recovery mode but just select Resume Normal Boot it works fine. So I can boot into it but only when selecting this option. How can I fix the regular version?
Note: I used the Freeze tag even though it says do not use, because the actualy install is freezing not any installed software. Should I remove it? :P

On some older video hardware configurations, you may need to set kernel parameters for Ubuntu to boot or work properly. A common one is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphics cards (most commonly NVIDIA) that otherwise boot into a black screen or corrupted splash.
To check if you have an Nvidia graphics card:
lspci | grep -i nvidia
or check your video adapter type:
lspci | grep vga
At boot up press Shift or Escape during boot while GRUB is loading to get the menu.
Press E to edit the first kernel displayed.
On the line ending with a quiet splash. Add the boot option nomodeset quiet splash
Then press CTRL + X to boot
Lots of further reading links on the net regarding Nvidia and nomodeset.
