Currently I have access to NO Linux distrobution on my computer, and I am running Windows 7.
My computer has an AMD A8 processor, with Radeon HD 6600M Graphics card. It's got 8 gigabytes of RAM, so I think lack of processing power is not my issue.
What seems to be the problem is drivers, because when I boot to the disk, it displays the boot picture for about 4-8 seconds, then displays the usual Linux loading screen (the flashing underscore), but does not display any text. After about 2-3 seconds the entire screen goes black (no backlight at all), but the CD drive makes sounds as if it's loading.
I imagine it's an issue with the drivers that come preinstalled on the disk. My question is, are there any specific instructions anyone can provide which have been proven to work in similar or the same environment? If you have any questions about my situation, please ask them, however remember that I am unable to execute any Linux commands unless they come before the LiveCD goes into graphical mode.
Thank you very much,
