    HELP After Crash Boots in Low Graphics Mode, then Stalls - Hardware Issue?

    I could use some help folks. Here is what has happened. I was surfing using Chrome, got an error that I have gotten many times regarding keyring password. I went to password settings and set login keyring to empty. Came back to computer and screen was locked. Moved mouse and system was frozen.

    Tried to reboot. Boots in low graphics mode but freezes with "Ubuntu 13.10" on the screen along with two errors:

    kvm disabled by bios
    failed to execute /lib/udev/mto-probe mtp-probe /sys/deveices/pci00000:00/0000:00:ia.0/usb1/1-1/1-1.2 1.3 no such file or directory

    I press ESC and boot readout indicates "fail" at the following lines:

    starting reload cups, upon starting avahi-daemon to make sure remote queues are populated
    starting MDM Display Manager

    Checking my other system, the missing file seems to be a graphics driver. I can get into BIOS to enable virtualization. That clears the kvm error but I am still getting mtp-probe error and failure to start MDM.

    Also tried using VGA output with old monitor and get same thing. Tried booting with LM16 and XUbuntu 12.04 LTS on USB sticks, still get same errors. Also tried editing GRUB to nomodeset but does not make a difference.

    I can get into terminal using ALT-F6.

    What have I done?

    Running LM16 Cinnamon, Celeron g540, Biostar H77MU3.

    This universe is crazy. I'm going back to my own.

    UPDATE Swapped CPUs with another computer with same result. Would this indicate failed MB?

    How many bad sectors does the drive have and are they increasing?

    Might only need to reallocate the sector.
