My system similar to those mentioned here: MB: A55M-E33 cpu: AMD A4 6300 ram: HyperX DDR3 1866 2x4GB
I really didn't have much trouble installing Linux Mint 17 from USB stick. However after install is when the rebooting started. I concur with most of what Rick Robinson said in comment #75. My solution as well was the fglrx-updates driver. However one of the first things I will always do on a new build is to install Google Chrome. I noticed that as long as I had Chrome running there were no reboots. As soon as I would close Chrome, the machine would reboot as if on queue. Possibly the same with the default browser in Mint, Firefox. I don't know that for sure because I only kept it running long enough to download/install Chrome. I thought maybe that would be true as long as some application was running. I tried running LibreOffice Writer in the background, but it had no effect. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1309578 Title: Ubuntu 14.04 suddenly reboots when booting from Live USB AMD A8 6600k Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have a custom built AMD System with the following hardware currently running on Linux Mint 16 : AMD A8 6600k with Integrated graphics | MSI-FM2-A55M-E33 Motherboard | Kingston Hyperx Blu 4GB RAM | Corsair VS450 PSU Today when I tried to install 14.04 amd64 iso using a bootable USB, then the system rebooted. Any further attempts in installing it resulted in the same bug. As soon as I open the "Ubuntu installer" application and click "Continue" button then the system restarts after 2-3 seconds. I asked the same on AskUbuntu and some more guys reported the same problem with AMD APU, so I believe it to be a genuine bug and not just with me. The BIOS version is the latest one downloaded from MSI official website which is version 11.5. Also an Interesting thing is that this bug is common with the latest iso of Arch Linux too, but when booting older distros like Linux Mint 16 from USB, then everything works like it should, so it might have something to do with the newer 3.13 Kernel version. I am not an expert, but I can surely tell that only the newer distros are affected by this bug as reported by some other guys at AskUbuntu and the fact that Arch which is running the newer Kernel is having the same bug, so it probably has something to do with the newer Kernel, but I could be wrong. This bug is not letting me install Ubuntu 14.04 on my hardware and it is affecting a few more users too. Here is the AskUbuntu thread : http://askubuntu.com/questions/449391/unable-to-install-ubuntu-14-04 -pc-restarts-after-i-click-continue-button-in I hope this gets fixed soon or with the 14.04.1 upcoming July release.
