Ubuntu 17.10 stalls on boot, logo blinks

Asked by Pablo

When booting Ubuntu 17.10, Ubuntu logo blinks on and off and booting stalls. If I poweroff and reboot, it will boot normally. If I use recovery mode, it will boot ok. I dual boot with Windows and no trouble booting Windows. (I use aa Thinkpad Core I5.) How to solve this? Thank you for your help.

Thank you for this recommendation. I am now running Memtest86. It has done one complete pass reporting no errors. It has begun a second pass. I will report any further results
