lubuntu live usb


originally had lubuntu installed from a cd and my lubuntu always seem to have problems. crashing and constant errors. attempted to try live usb but it never works. i get the start up screen where i can select install or try live and both come back with acci probe fail. i tried installing puppy linux on the same usb drive on the same usb port and it work fine. im actually using it now with absulutly no problems. i like this distro but i almost need something a little more heavy. puppy linux takes way too long to save every shut down plus i enjoy gaming now and then and this doesnt really seem the distro for gaming. my laptop is a hp-g60 with amd turionx2 proccesor and nvidia graphics.

about 3 gigs of ram on computer. 300 gig hd

Is your machine a dual core or a quad core?

Which Nvidia GPU do you have?
Run this command to find out. The GPU will be in the output

Code:
lspci
Depending on which GPU you have; you might need to install the Linux driver for your Nvidia card.

As far as a Gaming distro try Ubuntu. You can install Steam and play all the games you want.
Some are free to play and some not.

I'm not sure how well Puppy Linux does with gaming.
Look in the Puppy repo and see if it's filled with games.

You could give the distro Steam OS a try. It's designed for gaming.

Modern 3D Gaming may require 8G's of RAM.

I just finished reading about it on Distrowatch. It sounds like it rocks!
