I've tried countless of USB booters, such as Universal Usb, Rufus, Unetbootin. They seem to work fine as I can boot to the point to where boots to the options menu, where it says you want to install or try before you install or what have you. However whenever I try to install or test out the OS before installing it, it takes me to black screen which can't get out off without powering off.

Sounds like the wrong video driver. Try editing the kernel boot line and add single or 1 to the end and see if it can boot to a non-GUI command-line.

    Or nomodeset, noapic, etc... there are lots of troubleshooting / compatibility options to try. Ubuntu's iso menus usually have the common ones under "F6" I think
