Hi, Hope you can help. This is my first post, I'm no expert but can you usually follow instructions so long as they are step-by-step.
I'm dual booting Ubuntu 9.10 (x86 64 bit) with windows 7 on an ASUS P5B Deluxe WiFi (P965 Express chipset) and I have a separate home partition.
My Graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD5570 with the Linux ATI propriety fglrx driver (ati-driver-installer-10-4-x86.x86_64.run) installed and working successfully.
My monitor is an ASUS VH242H 24" Widescreen with 1920x1080 resolution.
From within Windows, I've backed up my Windows and Ubuntu installation partitions to a separate external harddrive using Easeus Todo Backup 1.1.
I think I'm now ready to replace my existing Ubuntu 9.10 with a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 but I can't get Live CD to load beyond the Ubuntu screen with the alternating white and red dots. After cycling through for a while my monitor just shuts down and I have to do a hard reset to fire up the machine again. I've been reading through the forum and I'm left with the impression that the installation of 10.04 is proving a little tricky for some. A number of posts seem to point to graphic card issues? My question is how can I get Live CD to complete the boot cycle so that I can take a look at 10.04? I don't want to mess up my existing system but would love to take a look at 10.04. My xorg.conf file looks like this:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "aticonfig Layout"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
EndSection
Section "Files"

Section "Module"
