I tried to run Ubuntu 10.04 from the CD (did a boot from the DVD drive) and the screen is blank, then, very small at the bottom center of screen, has what looks like a data card with a " = " sign to the right side of the data card and on the other side of the equal sign is a circle with a human figure in it (looks like a kids drawing of leonardo da vinci's human who is outstretched inside a cirle).
Then, the DVD drive has a bit of action, then the hard drive, and then ... nothing. Both DVD and HDD go silent and I occasionally see the monitors NO SIGNAL warning (very briefly) over and over again - very erratic, and nothing boots.
One time, I did a Ctrl + Alt + Del before the monitor warning showed up and I saw the choice list (boot from CD, Install To HDD, ect). So I know it's there, but it doesn't show on the monitor nor does the CD boot.
I made the CD from the downloaded ISO and since I had no trouble with Ubuntu 9.10 I figure it can't be my computer, which runs fine on 9.10, Win XP & Vista.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
Sincerely,
