Hello!

I thought I'd give Zorin OS a try, but when I select any of the options at boot (including scan disk for errors), all I get is a blank screen. It sounds like this problem is not uncommon, but I can't seem to get it solved. I'm running on a Lenovo Yoga 720 with switchable graphics (Nvidia). The Nvidia card is disabled in the BIOS. Help? Thanks!

OK, how old is the thumb drive? Did you format to FAT32? Did you verify the SHA or md5 sum after downloading the .iso? What are you using to try and install? How big is the thumb drive (capacity)? Is Windows 10 on this Notebook?
