Ubuntu live cd won't load. I have tried many different things, including the video card corrections, but it stops at "checking 'hlt' instruction..."<br>Maybe the hard drive is bad, but it should load a live cd???<br>Maybe the motherboard or cpu is bad, how do I tell or test???<br>Any thoughts???<br>Tom<br><br>Thomas Rieff <br><font style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;" size="4">GreenCare </font><br>1717 3rd Avenue <br>Mankato, MN 56001 <br>(507) 344-8314 Office <br>(507) 344-8316 Fax <br>(507) 381-0660 Cell <br><br></div></body></html>
