Q:

Boot error messages spammed

I'm fairly new to the Linux community, but I have used it for a few years. I don't know much about how it works, but I think I can get around it with detailed instructions. 
Anyways, today I decided to dual boot my MSI laptop with windows ten and elementary OS. I created a bootable USB and got to the setup screen for elementary OS. I configured the dual boot using the default options. It told me to restart and I got an error about safe boot. So I went into my BIOS and disabled safe boot. After I did that when I turn my computer on it boots directly into Windows, instead of Grub. However if I hit F11, I can then get to elementary OS, which will then launch Grub. I hope all of this makes some amount of sense. I have successfully booted a few times, but now all I get it my screen spammed with errors. They're all a little different, and there are way to many to type. But they all have the word "nouveau E[" if that means anything. Thank you so much in advance for any help you can provide.

A:

Nouveau = Open Source Graphics Driver for NVIDIA Cards.
nouveau simply doesn't support your card. You can install the original NVIDIA Driver for Linux which then should fix your problem. To temporarily disable nouveau so you can install the original Driver, you must add nomodeset to your GRUB Kernel parameters. 
Keep hitting the shift key while booting until you see a small menu. Now hit tab and add nomodeset to the boot code. Perhaps you need to add a Space character between the nomodeset and the rest of the kernel-booting-parameters.
Once Enter is hit, you should see elementary OS boot up.
Right after the startup you should open the driver-management-utility and select the proprietary NVIDIA Driver and press OK. Let it complete and then reboot the system, this time, without the nomodeset trick.
Congratulations, you just installed the proprietary NVIDIA Driver and you now have a working elementary OS Setup!
