I am having a really really bad time with my newly Ubuntu-ized desktop system.
It's a system I had a friend custom build from off the shelf parts so it is not branded. Anyway...
I installed linux and everything was working beautifully for about 4 days... then just today I tried starting it up and out of nowhere I got this error:
Grub Stage 1.5 (long delay) Read Error.
After this... sometimes it starts up, sometimes it does not. And it always takes a much longer time to start up. Sometimes the machine restarts in the middle of a start-up.
I don't know why it is doing this... Is it even Ubuntu or the hardware causing problems? Is it a power supply prob or is my HD dead or is GRUB the cause?
Please, any help will be appreciated and I will also throw in some prayers and Karma donations your way!! HElp!!
