When I boot from my USB sticks I get past the language screen, but as soon as I select either "Install" or "Try without installing" Ubuntu hangs. The screen freezes and I get no response from it.
I have selected run memory test and it has found no errors in the 3GB of RAM installed.
I have two Ubuntu Live USBs. Both work on a different system. One is 64-bit Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 and the other is the latest Ubuntu 32-bit version. I've tried swapping USB port but it hasn't helped.
The PC I'm trying to install on doesn't currently have any OS installed. There is one formatted 150GB hard drive and a 2TB hard drive with data on it, both are SATA. I have tried disconnecting both but it doesn't help.
The graphics card is a 1GB Radeon of some kind. I have tried swapping this out for a different graphics card but it didn't help.
There is also a 5.1 surround sound card, I have tried removing this.
On install I have also tried selecting the options listed under F6, 'nomodeset' etc.
The processor is a Pentium 4. The machine was originally made by Packard Bell and came installed with Windows XP.
I have been through the BIOS and enabled and disabled various features on the recommendation of some forums, but to no avail.
Please help! I feel like I've tried everything (although I'm sure I haven't).
Thanks!
