Black Screen on load - hp dv5
| Newbie here- I have used ubuntu on my CQ60 via live CD with ease. I decided to use on HP dv5 and it won't load, I downloaded and burned new iso, ubuntu 11.10 i386 and tried fedora, occassionally i get sound from ubuntu but both i get a black screen just after the beginning of the loading process. I can get into my bios prior and change my boot order(currently win.7) do I need to change some other bios settings? I am not completely computer illiterate, but pretty new to linux. I remember the days of 'dos' and command lines etc, so not afraid of that stuff, just don't know what to do in linux :) please help :) I am wanting this new computer to be solely linux can't wait to get rid of windows! THANKS! OH here is my system: HP Pavillion dv5 2155dx 2.4 ghz i3 m370 4GB 450G HD (what else do you need?) thanks again for any help (i'm running a memory test right now from the troubleshooting option with the fedora dvd) |
