I'm setting here looking at the secs for your laptop and it say's you
have an Intel computer with Nvidia Video, but the first thing to do is
make sure you have the firmware meta package installed, first you need
to add non-free to your sources and 'apt-get update' and then 'apt-get
install firmware-linux* xorg' Now reboot and see what happens. Good Luck!
Please read my initial post. The problem is that the installer does not
boot:
Installer grub2 comes up nicely. Then I choose the install method
(whichever) then the system get stuck immediately (Some access to the
USB-Stick (blinking), HDD is accessed (blinking), Blank screen.).

This happens with the Kali linux (Debian based) installer and Debian
installers 9.3 (firmware-edition), 9.4 (netinstall or firmware or 1st
DVD edition), buster-a2 (netinstall).

But an Ubuntu 16.04 installer runs fine. Ubuntu integrates nicely in the
UEFI and I have a full functional dual boot system (with win10). Under
Ubuntu the 4K video display on NVIDIA 1060 runs OOTB.

IMHO this is a problem with the Debian installer kernel, kernel params
and/or drivers in the initrd.


For Debian install you need to dd to USB or use cd.

And I recommend using the net-install with non-free-firmware and I don't recommend using Kali because it's a rolling release and never will be completely stable. Also you need to verify the .iso is a good download first.

These things are not hard to do.
