After your laptop boots up and the screen goes black could you press the 
Ctrl Alt F1 keys all at the same time. This should take you to a screen 
containing info on how the boot process is proceeding. This should give 
some clues about any problems and is a place to start. Transcribe some 
of the last lines on that screen ( as much as you can) especially 
looking for any error messages.

Perhaps someone will recognize  any problem and help make progress in 
getting Ubuntu running.
