It's autumn, and I've got upgrade fever again. I recently upgraded to Raring, and was pleasantly surprised, but I noticed the hardware was under a bit of a strain using the nearly 6 year old GA965 core duo mobo and generic nvidia card.
First I upgraded the card to a GTX 660 variety, no major problems presented themselves.
Couple weeks later, got a GA-Z87P mobo with an i7 processor, and just put it in today.
I had some problems with Grub at first, but tweaking the boot order in BIOS fixed that. Now grub starts.
I can'tget much than that, it goes to a black screen.
When I select recovery from Grub, it hangs at 7 seconds, with the message "Nvidia taints kernel"
If I use the live CD, 13.4, then it goes past the Plymouth screen and prompts me to load low graphics mode, and freezes.
Can someone help me troubleshoot this? I can't wait to see what Raring is like on high end hardware.
