Story continues... my 10.04 works for a couple of minutes and then crashes randomly, hard reboot the only option. Been trawling the net but found nothing so far. My question is, someone suggested adding nomodeset to grub menu edit before loading, which I did. However, I can't seem to boot from there, so have to hard reboot and lo and behold the edited additions to grub have not been saved so can't really tell if this works or not. Can anyone tell me how to save the edits in the grub boot screen and then boot to desktop from there?
