I'm at a real loss right now... I don't even know how to move forward with troubleshooting. I have an old sata card that I swear used to work, but when I boot with it plugged into any of my boards PCIE slots, the computer goes from BIOS screen to a black screen.

So I thought hey, I'll just pick up a different SATA card (I needed more ports anyway)... and I'm having the exact same problem. I've already removed quiet and splash from grub.

OS: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

Mobo: ASUS Z87 Pro

Sata Card: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0177GBY0Y/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Any thoughts on what I can try to move forward?
