Re: Issues with Ubuntu 12.04 LTR

Hi Johannes,

Try booting with a CD only distro like Knoppix.
This will soon tell you whether it is software or hardware.
If you still get problems then it is definitely a hardware problem.
If not then something wrong with your current software install.
A place to start at least.
Knoppix has stuff for hardware testing as well I believe.
