Freezes when finishing installation of ubuntu 12.10
- by Leon
I wanted to install Ubuntu next to my Windows 7 and made a 100GB partition for that. After that I downloaded the Image for burning the installation cd. As soon as I started to boot from that DVD, my computer made some crackling noises and then froze completely. I had to press the power button in order to shut it down.
After that I decided to download the Installer Version for Windows and startet installing it on the E:\ partition named Ubuntu. So far so good, the installer finished and told me to restart my computer. I did that and Ubuntu wanted to finish the installation. As soon as that started, the computer made some crackling noises again and froze completely.
Then I tried the Safe Graphics option, or whatever it is called, and it froze again.
I would really like to have Ubuntu installed on my system, because I like it. My computer components are the following:
Mainboard: Gigabyte X58-USB3
Processor: Intel Core i7 960
RAM: 8GB 2000Mhz
Graphicscard: NVidia Geforce GTX 570
HDD: 1 TB 7200rpm with 3 partitions(100GB W7, 100GB Ubuntu, 800GB Data)
