Well I just confirmed its an I/O error: since anything that has to do with the hard drive doesnt work or shows an error message, I tried alt ctrl backspace and alt ctrl f1, but neither worked. Then i tried alt printscreen R E I S U B, and suddenly a bunch of scrolling text showed on all black and white (looks like fullscreen terminal) but it was scrolling so fast it was hard to see. I dont even know if it was scrolling, but it kept blinking on certain lines and it was like it was going back and forth showing the same two lines. One line I couldnt make out, but the other said, ¨I/O error, dev sdb, sector 53070591¨ somewhere towards the end of the line. At least now Ubuntu shows what the problem is. (sorta) The strange thing is, is that sdb is my storage drive that i usually dont even have mounted. In all my other installs, i had it mounted as /home but this time i decided to try it differently. I did have it mounted though, for about 45 mins, so maybe if i dont have it mounted, it won´t lock up. My storage drive is an IDE drive, and my other one is a SATA drive, so i guess its not related to SATA, then.
