What HP laptop? If it is relatively old, there is a chance that the driver modules are not readily available in the Ubuntu 14.04 distro, and you may either need a custom kernel or a specific kernel module.

My laptop is HP Pavilion 15e-034tx
. It has 4gb ram, 500 GB HD, 1 GB amd graphics and it runs on an Intel i5 4th generation processor.
Isn't it a good configuration to run Ubuntu 14.04

From what I read, the current driver that ships with the Ubuntu 14.04 installer does not support the graphics chipset in that laptop (radeon 8670m hd). People suggest you do a text-based installation, then follow a guide to install the AMD beta driver.
