So, I recently upgraded my motherboard and processor. Windows was a real pain to me so I decided to go with Ubuntu. However, I ran into more than a few problems with my installation:
When I tried booting without adding kernel params, the display flashed briefly, then the monitor turned off
-Added nomodeset to kernel params, screen resolution was funky, and froze halfway through the installation (got to the part where the top toolbar loads, background is gray, mouse is stuck)
After this, I did a bit more research, and tried changing and combining different parameters. Some errors I got were:
DRM fails to create channel -22
Unable to read directory block (squashfs)
Nouveau end trace errors
Asking me to login to tty on install (used ubuntu as username and it froze)
For the record, I did get this to work on my old motherboard and processor with everything else exactly the same
I tried to run a memtest, but it got stuck at 6% on the first pass
If any one has any suggestions, please help me!! I'm sorry I couldn't be more specific but if you need them I can try to replicate the errors.
Side note: I couldn't boot any OS properly, when I tried windows it just froze
I am using: Gtx 970 i7-4790k 16gb ram Z97-a mobo by Asus
If you need more specifics on specs I'll be happy to provide them
Thanks
