I just finished building my new computer, and popped in my recently installed 64-bit disc and an old PATA drive connected on IDE, (it worked, I could access a busted Windows OS). The installer showed the little guy next to a keyboard on the purple background, then showed the Ubuntu loading screen. A terminal window, white on black, displayed various things initializing successfully. Finally, jut before something would happen, the video output from the computer blanked out. I removed the PATA drive, then proceeded to hookup a SATA one from my laptop running Ubuntu 32-bit. The computer booted an ran fine. I browsed around and shut it down. I tried the install disc again, same result. Finally, I tried ANOTHER SATA drive running 64-bit Windows. Same result! I tried disconnecting the graphics card and running the blue cable, (VGA, I think? The blue one with pins in it) directly into my motherboard, an it still didn't work. Messed in my bios. Kinda upset right now.
Graphics Card: EVGA GeForce 8400 GS
MotherBoard: Gigabyte AM3+ Motherboard
I'm relatively new to Ubuntu (like 6 or so months)
SOLVED!!!
I reburned a new CD after diskchecking and booting into nomodest. Thanks all who helped!!!
