I currently have Windows 7 64-bit. I used Ubuntu before and I loved it. I need to install it again to check the cross-platform performance of programs I'm making. Last time I installed it, when the computer started up I would get a black screen for two minutes then Ubuntu would finally boot. I heard this is a problem with the resolution settings. My screen is 1360x768 using a Radeon HD 7750 1GB GPU. Also, Since the screen is black I never get the option to boot to Windows. Could you help me please?

Also, the black screen says "Resolution Not Supported" or something like that. I think that's my T.V. printing the message.

Even though the screen is unable to display the boot menu, I can't see why it wouldn't still work. Did you ever try just pressing the down button a few times right after the resolution warning starts to display, and then hit enter?
As far as the resolution of the boot screen, GRUB can be configured to change that. The first answer in this page describes a method I've successfully used in the past myself. (Though I never had to do step 1. I knew the resolution I was after.)

Why not set grub to 800 x 600 or something simple?
