Post subject:  Linux help

Okay, I'm experimenting with linux because I need it for one of my classes. Normally I'm okay working with linux, but so right now I'm F*CKING pissed off at my computer.

My system has:
ATI HD 3850 AGP video card
MSI K8N Neo2 Mobo
AMD Athlon X2 4200+
2GB ram.
4x IDE devices (HD, cd-rom)

I'm trying to install Ubuntu. I've downloaded the AMD64 edition of Ubuntu, install it properly. However, once I try to enable the ATI drivers, the system crashes. This isn't your normal crash. I cannot switch consoles, soft reboot OR hard reboot, that's right, the F*CKING reboot button on my case doesn't work. Anyone have any theories on how this is remotely possible?

It's probably a problem with your case/mobo if the reboot button doesn't work.

There is always the power button on the back.


And use Debian, I like it much better, but Ubuntu does look nicer.

I thought of that at first, but the reset button works when I'm in windows or the bios...
