Bug Description
After a fresh install of ubuntu 18.04LTS(dual booted with windows 7) when I selected ubuntu from the grub menu to boot into the OS. But I got a black screen I waited for few seconds but I was still at black screen. So, I forced shutdown the laptop. Again in second attempt to login I got black screen this time I waited for more than a minute and pressed power button once which suspended the pc then I pressed enter and I was presented with login screen. To solve the problem I followed this guide https:/
and changed quiet splash to nomodeset quiet splash. After applying this fix there was no black screen at the time of login, but the laptop started to freeze randomly even when left idle for more than 30 mins it would freeze. I had force shutdown each time and this happened very frequently.
I again changed nomodeset quiet splash to quiet splash, which again leads to black screen after selecting ubuntu from the grub menu. I also did RAM test using Memtest86 from GRUB and everything was fine

I think this might be the same as bug 1782347. What do you think?
