Thank you in advanced for reading.
Im trying to install Ubuntu, here are my problems and the solutions ive tried:

I've downloaded 10.10 in 64 bit and 32 bit. I've also tried with 10.4.1 LTS.

I've tried burning it to a disc and i've tried making a bootable USB. (I ran out of dvds so im only trying from usb now)

I load from the disc/USB and ill get the menu asking if i want to try ubuntu, install ubuntu, check for errors etc.....

I choose try ubuntu and ill get the UBUNTU logo with the loading dots undernieth.

The screen then glitches and theres multicolor lines frozen accross the monitor. Stuck that way until i restart.

This also happens when i try to install it to the harddrive.

It happens on both versions in both 64 and 32 bit. I checked the disc and all files are present.

I've had ubuntu installed over a year ago.

AMD 64 3200 processor
nvidia geforce 7800gt
2gb ram


What should i do?
Heres an image i took with my phone.

I've experienced this before with Karmic. I had a corrupted download. The ISO was just a few MB less than what was listed at the Ubuntu download site. Try checking that.

I only have 32 bit machines and my functioning 10.10 iso is 693.2 MB

There is also a MD5Sum.txt inside the ISO make sure that matches. The documentation is here:

Okay so i redownloaded it and the MD5 matches.

I create a bootable USB and restart.

I load the USB.

I see the list of files loading and I choose to Install Ubuntu on this Harddrive

The Ubuntu loading screen comes up (black background, ubuntu logo, 5 loading dots that act like a loading bar.)

Then, this glitchy screen comes up:

Also, the live non-install option doesnt work it just sits on the ubuntu loading screen indefinetly.


What in the world is going on.
