Why does my computer restart when loading Ubuntu Linux live CD?

Posted on July 3, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

I keep trying to start Ubuntu Linux in live CD mode, but it isn’t working. Right after the window that says “Loading Linux Kernel” the computer restarts. I am using a new computer that I just built. My specs are:

AMD Athlon 64 3800+ 2.4 GHz
160 GB Seagate HD (Partitioned into 2 80GB segments. I was planning on installing Linux on one of the partitions)
2 GB RAM
64 Mb S3 virge video card
48x CD-ROM

The video card and CD-ROM are old, and I used them for right now because they were just laying around anyway. I’m going to upgrade both of them as soon as I have enough money, but everything else is new, and i haven’t noticed any other problems with any of the components.

I get a BSoD when loading windows??????

Posted on June 3, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

When I turn the computer ON and it boots up with Windows XP Home Edition, it just all of a sudden flashes up with the Blue Screen of Death, but only for half a second and i cant get a look at it?????

I got no idea whats going on, can someone please help me with easy steps.

I have tried using Safe Mode, and it goes through its precesses, then does the same thing, so I can’t access my computer any way, and i tried using a Live CD of Luit Linux that has been based on DAMN SMALL LINUX, and I cant access my files from Windows XP…..

The only reason im not just formatting it, is because I want to save the files on there because I need them really badly for work…..

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME PLEASEEEEEE ! ! ! !

Cannot detect hard disk in linux ubuntu.?

Posted on July 25, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

Hi there, everything was running fine until yesterday when I started my PC and got a message “error loading operating system.”
I checked the BIOS settings and its detecting my hard disk.
I tried reinstalling windows but at the step where it asks to select the drive,there are no drives in the list.
Now I’m running Linux Ubuntu from the live CD. (I’m running it from the cd cause I cannot install it as I can’t detect my hard disk).
Can anyone tell me what can I do ? Is there any way I can do this on my own ? Any way to access and repair the hard disk from Linux ? Or any boot options or anything ?
