I have had to do a clean reinstal twice now after running for about a week or so
the operating system fails to load to the desktop,it gets to the point where the
cursur is flashing on the blank screen the desktop trys to load[you can see a
flash of colour],then the curser disappears and im left with a black screen.Can
someone please advise on what may be going on here? I have updated the os,as and
when updates have become available.I have also installed the Nvidia Drivers
[Nvidia Geforce 5000 series card installed on a gigabyte amd socket 462
motherboard with 2gb of Ram and an Athlon 2000 cpu. I havent installed any other
packages.
Finally when I have tried to instal another copy of Ubuntu 9.10 using the
Desktop Edition of Canonical CD, I am finding that I cannot instal using the
whole of my hard disc[I have no other os installed] as I get a message after
carrying out the fresh instal and removing the cd and rebootingI get an error
massage saying that the os cant be found? However when I manually instal the
partitions the os loads ok! Is there any reason for this to happen?
Finally I have Mint Isadora and Lubuntu 10.04 dual booting on another PC with a
later SATA AMD motherboard with DDR2 memory and an AMD 64 dual core processor
and ATI PCIe Graphics card, so far havent had any problems or crashes.
