I just recently Installed Ubuntu 18.04 on an msi laptop. The bootable usb worked fine, connected to wifi and everything. I can boot to the newly installed os on my hard drive too, but right after I enter my login information and press enter, it completely crashes with no error message or anything. I've tried reinstalling it twice now.

Edit: Ctrl+alt+f3 allows me to login without error, but I still cannot switch back over to the GUI with startx

    did you have crash when you try to log in in tty mode? use Ctrl + Alt + F1 to be in this mode, and Ctrl + Alt + F7 to return in graphical mode (or startx command) – damadam Oct 24 '19 at 14:37
  • @damadam im able to login fine with ctrl+alt+f3, but as soon as I try the command "startx" it crashes. – Nick Gilmet Oct 24 '19 at 14:46
  • please edit your answer with this new information, so it must be an issue with startx or gnome-desktop – damadam Oct 24 '19 at 14:48
  • does your issue solved? if yes, write your own answer – damadam Oct 24 '19 at 15:02

After searching for a graphics driver using $ apt search nvidia-driver I was able to find the driver I needed and install it using $ sudo apt install nvidia-driver-430
