8.10 demo and install fail with white screen

[bjrugg]

I tried to do a wubi install of 8.10 x86 and and amd64 (released versions) and both went to a white screen and hung. I did see the Ubuntu logo and progession bar. I can install the x86 version in a virtual machine (VirtualBox)in Vista x86.
I tried the Wubi installs in Vista Ultimate x64 and x86 (with SP2 installed).

Note that I had both an installed and wubi version of 8.04 running on this machine until a few days ago.

Any help would be appreciated.

Here are the HW specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6600 2.4GHz
Lite-On DVDRW SHM-165H6S ATA Device 16X Double Layer DVD+/- RW Black Burner
GA-965P-DQ6 Gigabyte Motherboard
4 Gig 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit
Seagate 400Gig SATA II
Radeon HD3650 1GB DDR2 memory GDDR3 PCI Express x16
650 Watt Power Supply

I'm pretty sure it's an HD3650 thing because I have had the same problem for some time and it's the only hardware we have in common. Any news??

Did either of you find an answer for this? I had installed 8.10 two days ago and it was working fine. I was trying to get my dual monitors to work and deleted my xorg.conf. On the next boot I got a white screen, and now running a Live CD or installation or anything Linux gets me to a white screen after the status bar. (I'm dualbooting winxp). Reformats/partitioning and reinstalls yield the same result.

edit: Oh, and my vid card is an HD 3650


edit2: Nvm, got it to work. Had to start Ubuntu in the reduced graphics mode the very first time from the menu. Now I'm just working on getting dual monitors to work.

I have the same card and the same problem, but when I try it in safe graphics mode, it just hangs on a linux prompt rather than a white screen.

Anyone have some other ideas?
