I've tried Ubuntu, Xubuntu, & Lubuntu. The latter two did not even make it to the install screen, however the former managed to install without a hitch. All were the latest versions. As stated in the title, I have a Gateway GT5228 with all the stock hardware, except for an extra hdd & disc drive. That's a dual core AMD Athlon X2 4200+ & a Nvidia GeForce 6100. Ubuntu makes it to the desktop and then freezes. I can't bring up the command window or anything, all I can do at that point is hold down the power button and try something else.
I'm curious if this is a common problem or if it's something with my computer. I can run windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit just fine & Win 8 & Win xp. Any info would be appreciated, I haven't found much on my specific model having problems with Ubuntu.
thanks!
