  • does the system still boot from a live USB? You said your live USB is Ubuntu...what is the installed system running? and what version? Is it the same kernel version as on your live USB? do you have a different video card available to try? Either another nvidia or an ati/amd/radeon card. BTW, if the live USB works then there is a very good chance that a new install would work. My guess is that whatever distro you have installed and/or whatever kernel it's running is incompatible with your hardware (probably the video card. maybe the motherboard. or the CPU).

  • If you can boot the live CD, it might be worth trying to mount and chroot into the installed system, and then upgrade the kernel (NOTE: you will need /proc, /dev, and /sys bind-mounted into the chroot in order for grub to work properly - e.g. if you mount the system's rootfs on /mnt in the live USB, by running something like for i in proc dev sys ; do mount -o bind /$i /mnt/$i ; done before running chroot /mnt). If the installed distro is Ubuntu too, maybe upgrade the entire distro as well as the kernel to whatever version your live CD is running. Commented Nov 29, 2021 at 6:45
