After much research and talking to one of the moderators in the Ubuntu Forums I found out that Ubuntu boots to a black screen because of a Nvidia graphics card.
To fix this problem you will have to add 'nomodeset' to the /etc/default/grub file. So open your terminal with nano like this:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Type in your password and press Enter.
Find the line with the variable GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT, and add nomodeset to the variables so it looks like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
Save and exit nano.
Here's a screenshot of what my /etc/default/grub file looks like:
***Now mine says "quiet" only but that's because I'm running Debian.***
To do that hold down CTRL plus the letter o at the same time. It will highlight the entry at the bottom of nano, than press Enter one time and than hold down CTRL plus the x key at the same time to exit.
Now, update grub while your still in the terminal.
sudo update-grub
Than reboot. Your Ubuntu Linux should boot to the gui and all is well.
If that doesn't work for you than you will have to install the Linux X64 Display Driver. IF you don't know what GPU you have run this command in the terminal:
lspci | grep -i VGA
Here's the link for Nvidia:
Should you still have trouble or aren't able to install the driver you can ask for help at Linux.org.
I've personally been in that Linux group for for about 5 years now and those guys are really good with Linux.
