My computer boots to a black screen, what options do I have to fix it?
I've read several posts about using -- nomodeset when trying to install.
The hardware is a via P820 board, that about it!
I have tried this without success.
- Boot from CD or USB device
- Select Language
- F6 select nomodeset
- ESC
- remove 'quiet' and ensure '-- nomodeset' is at the end of the boot string.
- Enter.
- The CD or the USB device will flicker with activity for a second or two
- The screen goes black.
- The machine appears to go to sleep. I know this as I have a voltage indicator on the PSU which tells me it drops from 12.01v to 4.97v as soon as the screen goes black
Can anyone help with this as I am desperate to get this working as I have a tight deadline to meet! Any help is appreciated!
Thank you :)
Simon.
