In any case, if the boot fails or if the screen remains blank, you just need to deactivate the default kernel mode setting:

Reboot while pressing ESC key, choose your USB drive, load Grub and press ‘e‘ or Tab key (according to systems) on the selected line to edit it. In the first line of text displayed, you’ll need to change the modeset affected to your chipset or video card from 1 to 0 (nvidia.modeset=0 or nouveau.modeset=0 etc.) or just add nomodeset at the end of the line. Press Ctrl+X or Enter to boot with the new option. The login screen should appear. Resolution may be messy though, you’ll need to find the right graphic drivers once installation is completed.
