Can't install


I'd like to install Mandrake 10 to my computer, but I failed. It shows the welcome screen, and told me to press ENTER to install or update, and I did it.
But nothing happen then, the screen goes black and the system halted.
I've tried with Mandrake 9.0 and have the same result.
I ever use RedHat 9 before and it works without any problems.
I wonder whats wrong with my computer, perhaps I must set my BIOS or something.

my Computer is :
AMD Athlon 2500+
Asus A7N8X Deluxe
DDR 512 MB
HDD Seagate 80 GB
LiteOn CDRW 52x24x52x
Lemel GeForce MX 440

Thanks all~

Sounds as if your are receiving the Vector 0003x... error.

This is mainly due to lack of compatiblity between that Linux Distribution (and/or version) and the motherboard.

Try using Red Hat 9 and/or go to www.mandrake.com and check if your motherboard is located within the support list.
