Whenever I attempt to boot off a live USB on my desktop, I get the error "bcma: unsupported SPROM revision: 11" and it stops booting. The USB works just fine on my other computers, but I am unable to boot off it on the desktop in question. I am currently trying to install Kubuntu 17.04 and I have tried it with Universal USB Installer and UNetbootin. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

"I have a Gigabyte GA-Z97x Gamging-GT motherboard, MSI Twin Frozr GTX970 GPU, i7 4790k and a TP-Link Archer T9E wireless card.

answer:
You may need the boot option nomodeset, and if/when you can get into the system, you can install a proprietary graphics driver for your nvidia chip. See this link: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2230389&p=13370808#post13370808"
