Blank Screen upon booting Pinguy 14.04 on HP Notebook

Hello all! I have just installed Pinguy 14 64bit onto my new 15 inch HP Notebook (AMD processor). I have Windows 10 preinstalled and am keeping it, because, well, it's there if I need it--hence the problem I'm about to explain (typing from my Windows 10 OS).

I have successfully changed the boot order and was really excited to see the Grub screen come up with the first option being to load Ubuntu 14 (no, it doesn't say Pinguy 14.04, and I don't know why..probably because it's based on Ubuntu?). So, I hit Enter and the screen is blank. I've searched the www for an answer, but have only seen very complicated and confusing answers, given my limited knowledge of the terminal/bash/grub (but i love tinkering and learning!!)

I'm not terribly new to Linux operating systems, but I haven't used it in a long while so I'm a little rusty...I don't shy from technical terminology, but please do spell things out as I may have forgotten even some simple processes or commands.

Thanks for any help!
