Hello
First off, I am not an advanced Linux user at all. I know the basics, to get around, install basics.. but I am no where near advanced.
My system specs:
Windows XP PRO
250 GB HDD
AMD X2 4400+
2GB Ram
7900GTX
ASUS A8N32
17" LCD
I installed Mandriva (2006 free?) as a secondary partition (30GB it uses) next to Windows XP Pro.
The install was fine, I did all the tests (video test, res test, etc) and it was fine.
When Mandriva starts to boot up, I can see the desktop but the screen keeps flickering off and on non-stop (my monitor light goes black, orange, green, non stop). I've left it on for a few hours thinking mandriva was configuring itself, but it just kept doing it.
Any clue what's causing this?
