I tried installing Ubuntu on Cyberpower Model No. P50CA1. AMD 64 dual core CPU. ATI video. I could boot from optical drive. Ubuntu would appear briefly, and then the screen would go blank. Could hear the optical drive churning for a while. I finally put the HDD in another laptop and installed Ubuntu. Ran the other laptop. No Problems.
I then took that HDD and put it back in the Compaq. It would boot and I would have video briefly. The screen would go blank and the HDD would churn for a while. I suspect that Ubuntu has a problem running the ATI video. Is there a Ubuntu version or another distro that will run ATI video?
