I have been trying to boot Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Mint LXDE, openSUSE, Fedora, and so on, via USB on my recently built machine using the Universal USB Installer (the most recent version) which has never let me down in the past. I tell my computer to boot from the USB, it does, the Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Mint LXDE/other options come up, I choose the one that allows me to simply try them, stuff starts loading that a newbie like me cannot decipher, and then a blank screen. I left my desktop running for several minutes each time, but nothing. Strangely enough, when using the exact same method with Puppy Linux, it works fine. They also boot up fine on my HP Pavilion dv6000 laptop which is over three years old.
Find below an image of what loads up. The USB and its contents are obviously being recognized, but after selecting to run whatever operating system is currently on there via the USB, a blank screen comes up, or in the case of openSUSE, a desktop background with nothing on it.
My specs are:
