Ubuntu lockups

[ubersonic]

Got some problems, tried installing Ubuntu off a cd that I burnt and the installer kept crashing, just a totally unresponsive lockup. I then downloaded the windows installer and installed it to another partition and it booted fine and everything but locked after a while and locks whenever I attempt to activate the gfx driver.

System runs fine with Vista except for the odd WoW crash...


I using this setup from OCUK:

- CPU: Intel Core i3 540 @ 4.00GHz
- Motherboard: MSI H55M-ED55 (Socket 1156) DDR3 Motherboard
- RAM: OCZ Gold 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz Dual Channel
- Cooler: Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev2 CPU cooler

With a MSI GeForce GTX 460 HAWK 810mhz Talon attack graphics card and an OCZ 60GB SSD

Okies, the download driver link on nvidia was just loads of text which I assume is correct so I saved it but how do I go about installing it? thanks

That ^^^, but log out before you do Ctrl+Alt+F1 (take me to tty1). That brings X down cleanly and takes tty7 to gdm, once you're done do Ctrl+Alt+F7 (take me to tty7) and log in, no reboot required.

WoW....

This must be how my 14 year old cousin feels when I tell him how to do things using DOS commands ^^
