Friend gave me her laptop, we agreed on Ubuntu, but I have troubles even booting up live version (see the notebook).
- I tried 12.04 64bit on USB stick, it does nothing, when I choose booting live version, it just restarts PC.
- Then I tried 32bit version, it starts loading, but its stuck on loading components, printing on black screen just dots ...........
I Googled it, found similar problem - somebody suggested to use older version and then upgrade it.
I went through 11.04, 10.04 - 64 and 32 same result. Restart or infinite loading.
I did memtest
, it showed 4 errors, Windows Vista is running "fine", no "bluescreens" etc.
Any ideas what am I doing wrong?
