Hi,

Ubuntu 11.04 is freezing randomly after installing new motherboard and video card. I suspect the graphics driver may the issue. It seems the best fix is to reinstall Ubuntu so that the new hardware can be detected.

The trouble is, I cannot get the machine to boot from the CD. I burned the 11.04 .iso to a CD, made sure the boot sequence has the CD drive 1st, and booted with the CD in the drive. It reads the CD drive 1st, but then proceeds to boot from the hard disk normally into Ubuntu.

What could the trouble be?

Thanks!
