I see many posts on this, but no solution.

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my 16GB USB flash drive using this official link using their tool Universal USB Installer.

Installation to USB went fine so I set my laptop to boot from USB and the Ubuntu was recognized. I saw the usual boot screen and I chose option "Run Ubuntu from this USB". The boot process started and after 5-6 seconds the screen goes black and non-responsive.

I thought that it hang on X loading so I tried switching to console via Ctrl+Alt+F1-6 but the system did not respond.

Why is this happening? Am I doing something wrong?

PS. My laptop is HP Pavillion G6
