Thanks for the suggestion, but it's been doing this since the motherboard was brand new. My multimeter says the battery is fine also.
at this point I've also disabled "windows 8 features" and MSI...

Thanks for the response!
I figured out a solution, it was the fast boot like you mentioned. I have a switch on the motherboard for SLOW_MODE that I can toggle when I switch the OS I'm using.

I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my desktop. The problem is that every time I boot Linux (no matter the flavor) I have to clear the CMOS or my boot logo doesn't display and it defaults to my Windows...

The 382 is a randomly assigned process number, it will always change. The 127 is an error code, and I'm sure some more experienced user will have my head for even suggesting anything... but I'll give...

I would say that it is an uneditable command that calls a halt to running processes in the current session and ends the session if there are no more processes. (each terminal window would be a...

If you had Windows installed on the laptop before, did the wireless work then? That could narrow it down a bit (like the failed card suggestion - unlikely, but not impossible).

Or you could save...

I'm sorry, I meant no GUI tool installed by default. I thought there would be one, but didn't know the name.

It's not a bother, sometimes you just need another person's perspective to solve a problem.

There is a button at the bottom left of the keyboard that says "fn", short for function. Did you try pressing and holding that, then pressing F12?

Welcome to the forums Gussn!

I am assuming you are still using the default connection manager?
You can set a static IP within Ubuntu fairly easily, but port fowarding is usually done within the...

You can also try

If that doesn't work, try changing "remove" to "purge" to do a total...

You can use gparted, a USB will show up in a drop down box at the top right of the screen. You can then right click the drive, giving you many options including formatting.

If the switch was just off, it would at least show up in lspci and ifconfig output, and our BIOS (I have the same) does not have much level of customization, and has no wireless or other interface...

That rules out a driver problem, it seems to be installed. Have you tried another disk?
The next commands to try will tell us if you can access the drive at all:

I had the same problem with my Compaq CQ62, and it turned out that there were several factors at play:
1. The default drivers do not work. We have weird, old wireless cards, I guess.
2. Once you...
