Hi, I have an Emachines computer (refurbished) and Windows Vista (sadly). I downloaded Ubuntu 7.10 and made a Live CD, but when I boot using it and select the option to run Ubuntu from the disk, it screws up... It starts printing a few lines on a black screen, then the display flickers for a bit and occasionally I'll see oddly coloured bands or messed up looking versions of the Ubuntu logo (crazy pixely colours) and then it'll bring me to a blue screen tha says that my display has been turned off 6 times within the past 2 mintutes. From there I press OK and it does the same thing over until I turn off my computer. I've used this Live CD to install Ubuntu on a different computer so I know it does work, but it won't on my Emachines desktop computer. Also, even if I try this in "Safe Graphics Mode" or any other option that runs the Live CD it still messes up.
I have a 3.2GHz Pentium 4 single-core processor, 1.5GB of RAM, and an ATI X1600 graphics card. I'm assuming that the graphics card is conflicting with Ubuntu, but I'm not sure. Thanks for any advice!
