Hi,
Bit of a beginner when it comes to solving technical problems with linux. Currently trying to install linux on a new pc. I have an image created with the pendrive linux tool on an external harddrive. I've done this before with an old laptop so don't think that's the problem. when i boot from the image i get a purple screen with a couple of symbols at the bottom then a black screen that says:
wn-block (0,0)
[1.327397] cpu: 3 PID: 1 comm: swapper/0 not tainted
then some stuff about the hardware names to be filled by oem and a call trace. pic here

I suspect it's a hardware incompatibility but i'm not sure. I've turned off secure boot.
PC spec:
CPU: AMD FX-4350 Quad Core CPU (4.3/4.2GHZ - 4MB CACHE/AM3+)
MB: ASUSŪ M5A97 LE R2.0 (DDR3, USB3.0, 6Gb/s)
RAM: 8GB KINGSTON DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz (1 x 8GB)
GPU: 2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 750 Ti
Any advice much appreciated, any questions go ahead.
