| 1294023 | 2012-08-15 07:02:00 | What sort of graphics card? I'm thinking the same, video drivers maybe? That, or a memory issue perhaps? |

| 1294024 | 2012-08-15 07:44:00 | I'm thinking the same, video drivers maybe? That, or a memory issue perhaps? Or a driver for some other device... I've had Ubuntu crash due to WiFi card drivers before. |

| 1294025 | 2012-08-15 07:47:00 | Apparently AMD drivers can cause trouble for linux. That's about all I know, though they seem to work ok on my laptop. | 8ftmetalhaed (14526) | ||
| 1294026 | 2012-08-15 08:22:00 | I think you guys are right on the money. This system had 2 add-on cards. GeForce 6200 & a wireless lan. There was onboard VGA so I removed them both & installed Mint 13 Cinnamon. Seemed to run ok like that so I'm thinking one of them was causing the problem. Have tryed putting them both back in but it will lock up after a while. Seems to be happy with one or the other but not both. |

| 1294027 | 2012-08-15 11:02:00 | Are you able to manually disable onboard VGA via BIOS and just run with the nvidia? | Myth (110) | ||
| 1294028 | 2012-08-15 11:09:00 | I have looked but can't find any reference to vga in the bios. It must be able to auto detect when you've added a card. |

| 1294029 | 2012-08-15 19:35:00 | Does it lock if you install Mint, and then add the cards.. or if you install Mint with the cards already in place? | Myth (110) | ||
| 1294030 | 2012-08-15 20:51:00 | Ah, both. Read post #24 I see there is a linux driver available on the nvidia site. I'll give that a try later when I get some time. |

| 1294032 | 2012-08-16 01:03:00 | OK I got the nvidia driver installed & are currently online through the wireless. All is happy so far. Interesting, with the add-on graphics card there is a different start menue. With the onboard graphics it was like win 98 but with the add-on it has changed to more like xp. |
