Specs of my laptop are: processor: AMD E1-2500 graphics: Radeon HD 8240. Whenever I try to install linux in it, it gives some errors. In ubuntu's case, it does not boot, and the screen just goes black(when I change to UEFI boot, it goes white). In opensuse's case, it freezed but I was able to look at terminal output and it said that it detected some CPU lockup. I have had Fedora on the same laptop for some time until an update messed it up and it again gave CPU lockup error, so I am guessing Ubuntu has the same problem. My guess is that new kernels have that issue with my processor, since I don't think I have hardware problems, as I run windows without any issue(also I was running fedora before some update).

How can I solve this problem?

  • @user223882 Thanks, it works for now. I am using LTS, can you tell me if it updates the kernel or not? I am afraid that a kernel update will mess things up. – khajvah Mar 24 '14 at 11:44
