my computer hangs unable to use ubuntu10.04 desktop
 

hi there,
i am facing a strange situation. my computer hangs as soon as i boot into ubuntu 10.04 LTS GNOME. nothing works and i have to press the reset button.i don't face this issue with ubuntu 8.04 LTS. my comp works fine with linux mint 7 GNOME but it hangs when i try install mint 8. i have tried to work with windows xp. things seem to be alright. but not with latest ubuntu and its variations it just HANGS....

I am on a mercury 945 series motherboard and i have 2 gb RAM. can anyone gimme some ideas to sort this one out

Hi,
I'll just ask you the same questions I asked this guy http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...sh-bad-808698/

thanks for your response. my comp hangs after i log in. as soon as i open the terminal or any window it hangs. none of the keys on my keyboard work and i have to press the reset button

When you boot up, go into the grub boot menu and select Recovery Mode, it will boot you to a terminal. Then follow the instructions in that thread:

Hi,
Iam also facing same problem, i followed ur steps after booting i went to recovery mode but it not showing any terminal it is showing cleanup, and other options,
please tell the exact steps.

Spell out your words. And re-opening a thread that's a YEAR OLD, isn't a good thing...especially since in your OTHER thread you say you're using Fedora, and this is for Ubuntu.
