hi,
better overview of going on, please following:

boot ubuntu live cd/usb. choose option "try ubuntu without changes." once desktop loads come here , following:

1. download boot info script in zipped file. there link in signature.
2. once downloaded, move boot info script either copying or dragging , dropping zipped folder onto desktop , unzip contents using right-click extract here.
3. open folder , copy script desktop (you can drag , drop if like)
4. open terminal , run following command

code:

sudo bash ~/desktop/boot_info_script.sh

this create results.txt file on desktop. paste entire contents of file here in new post. once pasted highlight text , click # sign on toolbar place code tags around text.

can use mint cd of course.
