Linux just freezes
Hey guys, so glad to join your world of linux.
Having some issues though with Linux distros. I 've decided to install Linux along with winXP and Win7 which are allready installed on my pc. But here's the thing: I tried to install LinuxMint 10.10 or Ubuntu or Fedora 14 on the same HDD with the other OS's but in a different partition. After the installation, i 'm starting up with the Linux to start working with it, but after a while everything just freezes. No mouse move, no keyboard response. Only a hard reboot will work. Can anyone pleeeeease tell me how can i fix this? Thanks in advance! |
you know... it might help us a bit telling us what linux does that... do they all do that? does that happen in windows?

Does it happen in a particular situacion or is it aleatory? It could be a memory problem. Check it with memtest86+ or similar software.

Thanks for your immediate response guys.
This happens when i install Ubuntu 10.10 and it also happens on LinuxMint "Julia" and Fedora 14. Sometimes it just freezes even during the installation. If i manage to install it, after i log into the Linux system it freezes everything after 1-5 minutes. I haven't tried another distro because i was so discouraged. Ram is absolutely flawless (have checked it) This has never happend neither in WinXP nor in Win7 Brand new machine: Intel core i7 860 Asus P7P55D EVO ATI Sapphire HD4870 Vapor-x 2 GB Western Digital Caviar green 750 GB 4 GB Kingston at 1333 MHz One year with this machine and up until now i haven't got any problems with windows at all. Thanks in advance! |
How many primary partitions are your windows installations taking?
You may have to partition different way. http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/gparted.html http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub-2.html http://www.goodells.net/multiboot/ |
i would look at your partitions
they might be a bit "off" is the easiest way to put it loginto one linux's and run this command Code:
su - -- or -- to make a text document of that output Code:
