Unhappy Kali linux shows blank screen while installling and nothing shows after


I want to install Kali Linux on my HP probook 440 g4.
so i booted the usb with kali linux iso.

after restarting the Laptop and choosing 'Start Installer' option only shows a blank screen nothing after.
I have tried booting with many softwares such as unetbootin, multiibootusb, win32diskimager and also with dd command.
i have downloaded the iso from Kali Linux Official site.
i have downloaded previous version of iso also which also ended in same result.

and with same bootable usb i tried booting into my acer laptop which worked fine but on my HP laptop it is showing blank screen.
If i click on live boot from the bootable usb which loads into kali linux live system but installing with any other option results in blank screen.
i have tried all options 'with speech synthesis' ,'text modes' but results in only blank screen.
I have tried disabling the secure boot also which also resulting the same.

Does any one knows solution of this problem.

did you try another distro? (like ubuntu, if that works?)
why do you try Kali?

Did you check the threads on LQ about Kali?

You have established that booting the installation media from the Acer laptop does not give the same problem? I would say that it's 90% certain it's a hardware compatibility issue. In such cases you can only post a detailed report on the distribution's official forums or mailing list and hope that someone with the same hardware has found a workaround or can come up with some other suggestions.
