I have a problem installing Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon x64. Whenever I try to install this OS, it does indeed go through with the installation, but when I try to restart the laptop I am using which is the "Lenovo t450s". All it does is just hang on a black screen with a flashing underscore, if anyone can help me with this problem, please feel free to give me suggestions. Also if you are wondering what the specs of the laptop are, here are the specs.
