skypower Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 Hi, I have a Dell Studio 1555 for about 1.5 year. I didn't exactly have fun with it and I have rebooted it manually many times due to game crashes. It has an ATI 4500 series GPU. I tried to install a graphics program (not sure if it matters) in my Kubuntu with no luck and the next time I restarted the pc it just booted in command line, with no GUI, and keeps doing it of course. I have searched the web and tried many things, with no luck. I have also made a thread in ubuntu forums, however I noticed that my windows 7 boot is not working aswell (I get some wierd graphical things (no command line)). Any help would be greatly appreciated! PS: Sorry if it's not the best section I could post that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 I don't get it. Are you using Kubuntu and 7 on the same PC? Are they dual-booted or virtual machined? Also what is the system specs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skypower Posted August 10, 2011 Posted August 10, 2011 I don't get it. Are you using Kubuntu and 7 on the same PC? Are they dual-booted or virtual machined? Also what is the system specs. Yes I dual boot in Windows 7 64 bit and Kubuntu 10.10. Cpu is dual core from intel, at 2.1 ghz (dont remember model) and 4 gb of ram. I didn't mention that my hard disk has a major problem too, usually my pc crashes at 15 minutes max after normal operation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCcomputers29 Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 maybe overheating of the cpu or gpu? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coors Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) I didn't mention that my hard disk has a major problem too, usually my pc crashes at 15 minutes max after normal operation. I'd fix this...probably the source of the problem. A dying hdd can cause all kinds of corruption and chaos.
