I have a custom built machine that has been working mostly fine up until recently. I had my motherboard die on me, so I replaced it. Shortly thereafter, I noticed that my video card was artifacting terribly. So today I bought a new one. It also began artifacting.
Everything was working fine, except for this. Thinking that it might be a BIOS setting gone awry with the new board, I reset the BIOS settings back to factory defaults (I had done some tweaking when I first bought it).
However, after resetting the BIOS, Ubuntu will not display the loading screen. It displays the GRUB menu, and the Starting Up... text, but goes no further. Recovery console reveals that it gets suck after "io scheduler cfq registered (default)". Any ideas on why this might be happening?
This issue also persists in my Windows partition, hanging after acpitabl.dat
