When I start my system on the Ubuntu 10.10 CDROM I get a tiny icon at the bottom, then the screen shuts off due to no signal. So I cannot run the Live CDROM. Relevant here is that Debian CDROM runs just fine. (Lenny installs and runs good, but squeeze does not) Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) gets me a pretty graphical welcome screen, then the monitor shuts off just like Ubuntu and Kubuntu.
WinXP installed and runs without a hitch.
My system: Gigabyte GA-P43-ES3G with 4Gb ram, 750 Gb SATA HDD, Nvidia Quadro video card.
I have gone through the BIOS settings looking for clues:
SATA AHCI mode is set to IDE (versus AHCI)
SATA port 0-3 native mode set to enabled (versus disabled which would be legacy IDE mode)
Azalia codec set to auto (verus disabled)
Is there anything else I should look for in the BIOS? Any other ideas?
