Hello, I am trying to install kali linux on my dell i7559 I am trying to get kali fulling working before dual boot with windows 10. i am using a USB SanDisk 8GB flash drive. I am using kali-linux-2016.1-amd64.iso /with linux 4.3.0 dew to my Intel Core i7-6700HQ being "special" from what i have read online. i am using Win32 Disk Imager to write to the flash drive. Installing goes fine i work threw every screen, besides when it asks me for non-free firmware files. says i am missing iwlwifi-7265D-17.ucode, thats fine its not a problem i have the firmware on a flashdrive from -github.com/wkennington/linux-firmware/. I am not worried about installing wifi drivers at the moment, the laptop has wire connection anyways. The installation finishes without a problem or error and asks me to remove usb/cdrom etc after restart. After restart loads up like normal grup menu then i select kali gnu/linux, then goes to loading please wait then shows mounting drivers, then loads the kali login screen then it seems to freeze (sometimes)/ it allows me to move mouse other times. When i login with root it seems to then freeze my mouse again and lock up the computer. i figure it may be a video driver but i am really not sure.
