I have just recently installed ubuntu on my computer. This is the first I have used a linux kernel for an OS, so I have no idea on what to do. I had problems installing it, but it turned out to be a bad disk. It had a few errors. That was a headache!!!
Now I finally have it installed. Completely on the HDD. I had to use the text install because I was having the same problem that I am having now. The screen goes completely blank when I startup. It boots to grub to start linux, but then goes completely blank. Is there a way to fix this. If you need to know my computer hardwares specs here they are:
Motherboard: Asus P5b Deluxe Wi/Fi
Ram: DDR2-800 G.Skill 2x 1gb (Soon to be 2x2gb)
Video: Nvidia Evga 8800gts 640mb
HDD: Western digital 250gb 7200rpm
CPU: Intel C2D e6600 @ 3.15 & 1.4125v
*Note*
I have used different monitors to try to figure ou the problem. I used a 22" WS LCD monitor, and the screen goes black, but doesn't turn off. I also used a older CRT monitor with a VGA to DVI converter. Used it before on this computer with Dual screen.
So can anyone please help ASAP!
