I'm new to Ubuntu, I bought an Asus A45VS laptop recently pre-installed with Windows 8, but I have already uninstalled it and wipef the whole HDD. I plan to install Ubuntu 13.04 64 bit on it.

I have tried several times to install and uninstall Ubuntu again and again with boot-able USB, but it still fail to boot. All the installation process go fine, after rebooting my laptop, it just stick to the purple screen.

Then I boot it with USB again, tried boot-repair, tried make an EFI partition, still the same.

I have searched on the web, and all of them was about dual booting with windows 7 or windows 8, I don't wish to do dual booting as I wish to have single OS which is Ubuntu on this laptop.

please help, thanks in advance.

I feel that UEFI is the problem, your boot-sector is locked which prevents it's modification.

To solve this issue , You have to first go to BIOS settings by pressing , Del or whatever function key that takes you to that BIOS Setting menu.

Look for secure-boot option and disable it , save settings and restart.

Repeat the Ubuntu installation process after reformatting drive and it will work.
