First the computer specs.
MSI MS-16332 Laptop
Chipset Nvidia C51M + MCP51M
video card: Nvidia GeForce Go 7600 256meg
Ram 1gig
Processor AMD Turion 64x2 tl-52
Both wireless and wired ethernet.
80GB HD
other stuff I can post if needed.
Laptop installed and ran 7.10 fine.
Tried to upgrade to 8.04 beta. Install went fine. rebooted, the compter ran the post test. then hangs without trying to boot.
rebooted with the live cd same problem.
Sent the computer in for service they replaced the motherboard. Blamed it on a bad Sata controller chip.
got the computer back with Vista on it.
waited for 8.04 final to come out, tried to install 8.04 again same problem, this time I had a backup hard drive with my Vista install on it. Put it back in the drive boots up fine.
Put the sata drive in another computer and it boots fine in that computer, but will not boot in the laptop ?
I'm thinking problem with the install on this chipset any ideas what to try.
Thanks
