| 1139245 | 2010-10-17 17:52:00 | Aaaah sh*te. Same problems, different day. Have reinstalled XP only because I could not get my Ubuntu Live Iso to boot - it says something like "cannot boot from this disk, please update your bios". In short, DVD writer "falling off" the active list in my computer, micro-freezes starting and getting longer. Decided b*gger XP, it's Linux now and let's see if it shows the same problems. Unfortunately could not get it or Kubuntu to run. Btw, sometimes my screen turns into horizontal lines - probably the screen driver? Where do I look for drivers that need to be updated. I am so over all this cr*p. sarel |

| 1139247 | 2010-10-17 20:47:00 | You dont need monitor drivers, its probably the vidcard thats playing up How OLD is the computer, that BIOS message may have something to do with ACPI or something. And what version of ubuntu are/were you trying to install?? 10.10? |

| 1139248 | 2010-10-17 21:08:00 | It could be that the board is completely useless at supporting bootable CDs. I have one here which will not boot a single Linux CD. As I recall, I had to load smart boot manager from floppy first and then tell it to load the CD. Even the latest BIOS didn't fix it. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1139249 | 2010-10-18 01:05:00 | NVidia GEForce 6150 LE = VidCard Ubuntu Live V 10.04 and 10.10 - tried both No, it did support bootable discs - used it quite a lot in the past without problems. OK, it's time again for a shutdown, open up and check all connections. |

| 1139250 | 2010-10-18 02:03:00 | No loose connections. Took out the RAM, cleaned and reseated them. Installed my 2nd DVD drive and it shows DVD-drive, although the first one is showing as a CD-drive? Haven't installed SP3, I want to see if that did not cause it all. So let's see. Smart boot manager hey? sarel |

| 1139251 | 2010-10-18 17:48:00 | I just don't know why the new DVD drive is seen as a CD drive? Both the DVD drives are SATA, btw. sarel |

| 1139252 | 2010-10-18 20:54:00 | Sometimes mine shows up as a CD drive. Doesn't seem to make any difference. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
