hello there

first time installing ubuntu to a pc (tried a notebook before with zero problems) and i have run into a problem. after selecting install to hard drive it begins the load up then my screen just goes black. after a while the monitor comes up with dsub out of range. also does this with boot from disk.

pc is mega old with an amd xp2400+ and about 1.5 GB of ram and a nvidia 7300


any help would be mega appreciated

Can you boot with a 10.04 live CD?

What exactly does the error message say?
