I’m considering switching over to a Linux-based OS after having so many problems with Windows the past few years. What spurred me is that this morning, without having installed any programs or gone into any risky sites (I use Web of Trust and Trend Micro anti-virus) my computer is giving me a long boot up time, a black screen that tells me that there were hardware or software changes and that gives me options on how to boot Windows, and a blue screen after waiting for a long time to boot from any of the given options. It then goes back to the black screen giving me options. My hard drive is just 3 months old. My antivirus said my system was clean and the last time I ran Malware Bytes, nothing popped up. My normal OS rescue disks are not working, and I’d rather try something new.
I’m reading up on some things, however I can’t find much on Clear Wireless and linux-based OS. I get clear from a USB on my desktop, and it isn’t DSL. It is a wireless service. Do you also have any beginner’s guides to recommend, and is it possible to get a brand new hard drive to run linux from a live CD?
It gets the blue screen of death even with safe mode.
