I just downloaded 9.04 and when I choose to boot ubuntu from live cd menu, It stops with the progress bar at around 10% and then it switches to console mode and it gives out an error about driver load failure and then another one about memory failure. I'm compleely sure my hardware is fine, and I tried again after I took off my Nvidia graphics card and then I got no problem, I tried also after connecting a different graphics card and got the same error, so that means it's a graphics card hardware problem, 9.04 will just not work with my MB+GPU for some reason, this is the first release of ubuntu that actually cares to give me an error message, previous releases just freeze, hence, I'm never able to switch from windows to Linux.

Anyone has an idea of what's going on or what can I do???
