What does ctrl+alt+F2 Yeild?

I would trynomodesetduring boot (at grub, edit your entry & add it there as a kernel option [ie.linuxline]). I'd also suggest removingquiet splashfrom the line so more information is shown, and you can see more - but if new this may not help you. With your RAM & cpu (I use dual-core-duo's too) I'd suggest a lighter flavor, eg. Xubuntu or Lubuntu (your tastes will dictate the best for you, even MATE, KDE .. as GNOME is rather heavy, but this is a personal choice) -- if nomodeset works askubuntu.com/questions/38780/…
