Why is my Kali Linux live CD not booting and results in a black-screen?

I wanted to create a Live CD with Kali Linux for my Laptop (exact information on version etc… will be given later, as well as the chronological order of the things I did).

After burning the ISO Image of Kali, I restarted my Laptop, and wanted to boot Kali Linux as a "Live Session", but everything I have seen was a Blackscreen, with no console, and no mouse pointer.

The laptop did not react to anything, so I took out the disk, and started my PC new and booted with my primary operating system. After that I tried different things (which I will list too), but nothing of it helped me.

My System:

Laptop Model: ASUS R510LB-XX037HOS: Windows 8.1 64-BitArchitecture: 64-BitProcessor: Intel Core i74500U CPU @ 1.80 Ghz 2.40 GhzRAM: 8.00 GB (7.89 Usable)Graphics: Intel HD Graphics, nVidia GEFORCE 740M

The Linux:

Kali Linux64 bit (because my System is 64x Based)Version: 2016.1Boot Media: Disk (DVD-RW), 4.7 GB Storage

So basically the first thing here (Kali Linux 64 bit ISO)

The things I did (in chronological order):

  • Downloaded Linux Kali 64 bit 2016.1 ISO.
  • Saved on Desktop.
  • Took a brand new CD and put it in.
  • Right clicked the ISO and burned the image (With the burning option given by the system).
  • Opened Charm Bar => Settings => Change PC Settings => Update/Recovery => Recovery => Advanced Start.
  • Selected the Option for opening the UEFI Settings.
  • Boot => Changed The Boot-Order, DVD will be booted first before main OS.
  • Restarted the PC.
  • Red window saying "Secure Boot Violation" and some text, so I entered UEFI again and disabled "Secure Boot."
  • Restarted PC again.
  • Black-screen.
  • After 20 minutes, I manually restarted the PC (simple power-off).
  • Burned ISO-Image again on fresh disk.
  • Restart.
  • Black-screen again.
  • Powered-off and booted with Windows again.
  • And so I came here…

I really don't know what I can do more, under Windows everything works fine (related to hardware).

How can I resolve this issue?
