linux GNOME install problems

[coollll068]

hi guys i am attempting to install gnome on my brand new gaming computer i built and I was just wondering why I am getting a black screen

 

I installed all files and switched my boot in bios to boot from flash drive and i get to a screen that says

 

install gnome or ubuntu (forget witch one it said)

 

dont install gnome and run

 

ect 

ect

 

but when i hit install ubuntu so that it can install to my ssd (or whatever the thing does) it will Black screen and nothing will then happen

 

if it helps i am running a sandisk cruzer 8gb flash drive 

 

UPDATE: whatever i press in the uefi of ubuntu disk it will read for like 5 seconds and then CRASH and will tell me my monitor has no input

How does one install Gnome without a Distro?

Gnome is a desktop environment. What are you trying to install exactly?

Ubuntu? Xorg? The GNOME Shell?

Well ubuntu is based on debian so it pretty much the same thing without all the ubuntu bloat
