Hi all,

I just got an old (cheap) laptop and I'm having trouble getting Ubuntu onto it. Here are the basiccomputer specs:

Toshiba R15
Intel pentium M 1.70 GHz
1 GB Ram

When I start up from the Live CD and try to run the demo it starts to load, and then just about when it should finish up it crashes... The screen goes blank and the processor fan starts revving in high gear.

I've tried loading xubuntu as well thinking it was a system req problem, but the same thing happened. I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting, any ideas?

Thanks,

~Justin
