12.04 - Lenovo Y500 Dual Booting Ubuntu and Windows 8: Stuck on Purple Screen

I'm installing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my Lenovo y500 with nvidia geforce 750M using uefi. What I've done so far

1. Regular install with Ubuntu disc. (through legacy)


2. Boot repair (recommended) (through legacy)


3. Boot up in UEFI to OS selection screen

When I boot up I get the OS selection screen, but when I select the ubuntu choice, my screen is stuck on a purple screen.

Nothing responds, no F2, Ctrl+Atl+F1, Esc, nothing.

I've tried the following solutions, but have no luck:

1. Updated Nvidia drivers:
   http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-quetzal-nvidia.html That
   got me to the screen with the ubuntu logo and the dots, but soon
   after crashed into a black screen with commands. I can also no longer access login terminal via boot recovery




2. Edited boot command: gfxmode nomodeset did nothing for me




3. Tried to regular boot through recovery: Got to black screen with
   
   login terminal. Could login to access system, but still does not
   boot to regular ubuntu.




4. Stuck on purple screen:
   Nothing changed.




5. Tried nvidia answer: Unable to install Ubuntu on Lenovo Y500
   With this, regular choice boots directly into login terminal, no gui or purple screen freeze.

   
   
   
   
   
   1. Tried sudo nvidia-xconfig. Did not visibly change anything.
   
   

Note:

1. I am booting in UEFI


2. I did disable srt
