    Can't install kali linux on thinkpad s430

    Hi! I spent the last two days trying to install kali linux with usb and cd on my lenovo thinkpad s430.
    When i try to access to the installation menu it gives me a black-grey screen and nothing happens.
    Once i entered the installation menu ( i don't know how, i tried like 20 times) but after restarting the pc it appears me the Boot setups of:
    Ubuntu
    "The cd reader"
    "The hard disk "
    Windows boot manager.


    I tried to select each one but after pressing enter i get the black-grey screen and it returns to the boot setup.
    Can you help me ?
    Love from Italy!

    Sadly, this sounds like a video card incompatibility. Have you verified the hashes of your installers, to make sure they are ok? Can you install on another computer?

    Yes i checked the hashes. I installed kali on another pc and it seems ok.
    So nothing can be done on the thinkpad s430?

    Edit : right now i tried to install kali on another pc ( i already insttal it here) and it gives me the same error . I guess it's the 2.0 version.
