So I have this older laptop that was given to me that I wanted to make into some sort of Linux machine. I successfully installed Ubuntu off a flash drive very easily but I tried to do it with Kali without encrypting the hard drive or anything, and it goes swimmingly until it hits about 33% of copying files to my hard drive then the screen just goes black. I turn off the system and turn it back on and it gets past the opening screen that shows the maker of the laptop and goes to a black screen with a blinking white line with no operating system loading. So obviously the Kali os is not downloading because it doesn't complete the installation but why does the screen turn black? I got the iso file from the Kali website and used the Universal USB Installer from pendrivelinux.com. Any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
