I am having a lot of trouble with my computer... tried to upgrade to Ubuntu 11.04 on my computer, but the update crashed and then the keyboards lights just kept blinking.:( So I thought okay, I will try A fresh install. So I plugged up my old dinosaur and made a new boot cd. When I try to boot it, it shows that it is loading. But then the screen will go crazy, it will be a bunch of mashed boxes with funy colors sort off.can not get any responce out of it. So I try the boot cd in my old computer and everything works great...


My computer specs are(custom):

Motherboard = msi 785gm-e51 / 760gm-e51
Cpu = AMD Phenom 2 duel core, running around 3.7 GHz
Ram = 2 gigs of ddr3
Video card = GT240 galaxy...Geforce 200 series...
An old wimpy 80 gig hardrive..

Any ideas, I really like Ubuntu and usally have no problem that I can not Google myself out of but this time I can not find what I need. I am going to make a boot stick and see if that helps....grrr

The boot stick did not work either...I wonder if it is my graphics card, but nvidia generally works great in linux....:confused:
