Hello,
I'm having some issues with a brand new system. The installer freezes up at 5% "Partitions Formatting" every time. I tried using the partition manager on the live cd and that also froze. I've also tried two brand new hard drives. The system spec is as follow.
XFX 750i mobo
4GB (2x2G) OCZ Gold DDR2 800mhz 5-5-5-18
OCZ GameXStream 850W power supply
1TB and 250GB SATA HDs
2x GeForce 7600GT Graphics cards
It's also worth noting I've tried ubuntu version 9.4, 8.10, 8.4 and kubuntu 9.4. Same issues with all.
I tried instaling Windows XP Pro (shudder) just to get it working and got a blue screen of death. The error message relates to incorrect drivers.
The system seems rather unstable too, although i did a memtest and it shot through with no errors.
I'm really stuck now. I need the computer working for Monday as it's my work machine (old one packed up on Friday). I can be a real noob at times so please go easy on me/
Any help would be really great.
Best Regards, George
