Please run this command in terminal and paste the output here:
sudo lshw -C display
And did you md5 test the ISO before you install Ubuntu?

What do you mean by "Modify" and "used Daemon" tools to install the system? Are you trying to mount the ISO from another machine? The bug is confirmed by developers, hopefully there will be workaround soon, otherwise please try older Ubuntu versions and see if works. Thanks!

Can you help with this problem?
