Hi everyone, right after clicking an option (installation or live), the screen shuts off and does not go any further. My configuration is this: MoBO: MSI Z97 Gaming 5
CPU: Intel i7 4690 Video Card: Two Asus GTX970 not SLI. Hard disk Samsung EVO 850 250GB. Default BIOS settings, but also in UEFI mode or Legacy does not change anything.
Thank you
Maximum.

Solved. I do not know why, but if I use the built-in video card (Intel 530Pro) as the main video card, the installation runs smoothly. If I use the Nvidia GTX970 as the primary card, the installation does not start.

This is usually an issue with Hybrid Intel/nVidia notebooks but I see you have a motherboard. Can you install using intel then try installing the nvidia drivers afterward? Otherwise try the text install method:
