Question #77516 on Ubuntu changed:

Tom proposed the following answer:
The first thing is to try a LiveCd session of Ubuntu - so, put the Ubuntu cd in
the cd/dvd-drive and reboot the machine. It should take you to a menu saying
"Try ubuntu without changes to this machine", if not here's a guide to help
https:/ /help.ubuntu. com/community/ BootFromCD
choosing that default option to try Ubuntu should get you to a working desktop
that we call a LiveCd session, if it works. This LiveCd session should have
firefox on the top taskbar able to surf the internet into here.
Please go up to the top taskbar and click on
Applications - Accessories - Terminal
and into the terminal/command window/console try typing
free -m
and copy&paste the results into here. I think maybe your Ram is less
than your swap size so i think we may need to increase the size of your
swap. I think the display crashes may either be caused by a loose cable
or by something wrong with xorg.conf or something wrong with your
x-server.
Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
