To start, as you mention speakup, if you are yourself blind I acknowledge |
| 10 |
at the outset my suggestions below may not be the most practical. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
I'd start by doing everything I could to ensure the underlying motherboard |
| 13 |
and memory are stable: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
1) Disconnect all external devices other than your keyboard |
| 16 |
2) Disconnect all internal drives other than the one you need to install to |
| 17 |
3) Remove all memory except for 1 stick |
| 18 |
4) If the machine has a motherboard VGA AND you have a card-based |
| 19 |
GPU then remove that card |
| 20 |
5) Leave wired ethernet connected if the machine and your network |
| 21 |
support it. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
At that point run memtest86 from USB or a DVD. If it's stable then |
| 24 |
start adding back memory. Double check that all memory is the |
| 25 |
same spec. I bought a used MB recently with 6 sticks but 2 of them |
| 26 |
weren't the same as the other 4. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
If all of that works I'd install some very light distro - probably |
| 29 |
Ubuntu Server but you're free to choose - with the goal to |
| 30 |
get a Linux kernel running. At that point I'm probably going to |
| 31 |
install something like btop and watch temperatures. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
If all that worked then you've made forward progress. If it |
| 34 |
doesn't you've also made forward progress. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Good luck, |
| 37 |
