Did it ever give you problems during the install? I assume you were |
| 70 |
booted from some sort of CD/DVD/USB stick or something Linux. If it |
| 71 |
runs fine from one of those, then it is certainly something to do with |
| 72 |
the install. It could be a LOT of things and you already have plenty to |
| 73 |
try. I think what people are trying to do is figure out if it is |
| 74 |
hardware or something else. It sounds like hardware is OK but running |
| 75 |
memtest overnight would be a good idea. |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
Oh the possibilities. |
