I have been having some trouble getting ubuntu to install on my desktop, I started with a kbuntu disk and when I booted to it I had all the regular options so I started with just install and got a black screen quite quickly, after about 10 mins I restarted. next I tried "try without installing" and I got the same thing. Then I tried to use the built in memtest and the computer just restarted. I decided that maybe the disc was bad so I tried the disc checker and I got the black screen again. I moved on to ubuntu and tried that I got all the same results, so I moved on to ubuntu on flash per instructions. And believe it or not I got the same thing! So I tried the flash in my friends computer and it worked great in his. after turning off silent, apic and what not i saw it freeze at my southbridge(sb600) I didnt have long to see it so i dont know exactly what it said.

my system
ecs ka3mvp with latest bios
ati 2900gt
wd raptor 150 GB
ocz platinum memory 2GB
LG dvd burner
AMD 6400 x2 64bit

Thanks for all the help
