“Install Ubuntu” leads to black screen and doesn't load

I'm trying to dual-boot Ubuntu 18.04.1 alongside Windows 10 on a Yoga 720 laptop. I've created a bootable USB with Rufus, and using Advanced Startup Options I am able to boot from the USB. However, once it loads the initial screen and I select "Install Ubuntu," the screen goes black and stays that way until I reboot into Windows 10. Please help!

Welcome on AskUbuntu, I had a similar issue and I had to disable ACPI before booting the installer. See this link for reference.

Try booting with nomodeset option enabled.

I've had a lot of problems with rufus and now entirely avoid using it to create bootable media. You should check out Unetbootin and load your .iso through that instead, as it also configures your bootloader for you and allows you to entirely skip using a USB drive in favour of your C:/ drive or similar, in which case when you set up the .iso and reboot, you will see a screen prompting you to choose between either your windows os or unetbootin, which will contain your ubuntu .iso
You do not have to partition anything for this to work, just format your usb to FAT32 beforehand or mount directly to C:/ without any modifications. The UI is better and more compact and it also allows you to install a wealth of operating systems and computer utilities that make it an invaluable addition to any developers arsenal.

This doesn't answer the question. When it boots the live session/installer the USB stick most of the times was done correctly and the tool used doesn't matter. The problem is "no video". The cause is the Nvidia graphics that requires additional kernel parameters like the ones suggested in comments. Please edit the question or remove it. It's confusing and not helpful because it misses the point entirely.

There was video if "it loads the initial screen and I select "Install Ubuntu", surely. How would it load that one part of the gui? is it self contained within the iso?

It sounded more to me like the result of a corrupted iso

That part is text mode. What comes next requires advanced graphics. That's why. Clearly you never had to deal with a brand new (or newish) Nvidia card ;)
– GabrielaGarcia
Nov 12 at 23:00
Understood. I'm still new to the mechanics of everything. Soaking this all in and thanks for clarifying. You're correct in your assumptions I use AMD cards backed up by desktop graphic chips so I never get anything like that.
