Ubuntu :: Computer Restarts Before Going To Grub Screen Continually

Feb 16, 2011

I am having a re-occuring problem with Grub. The problem seems to occur about once every 15 or so times that I start up. Basically, it gets past the Samsung branded screen but before it goes to the Grub screen, the computer will restart - it just continually gets to this point and restarts until I shut down with the power button. The problem is easily fixed by re-installing Grub using an ubuntu CD. Things will then run fine for about a week and the same problem will occur.

Ubuntu Installation :: Backup Entire - Computer Freezes - Refusing To Go Beyond The Welcome Screen

Apr 18, 2010

I start using Ubuntu, after successfully installed it without any problem.Then I downloaded latest updates, etc. But,after installing a display driver, my computer freezes, refusing to go beyond the welcome screen. I tried several ways but could not solve the problem. So I decided to re-intall Ubuntu, download again the updates, again configure my settings, etc. herefore, I'd like to know whether there is any application to backup or to create a full image of a hard disk so as to avoid the long hours of re-installation.

Ubuntu Installation :: Wubi Not Loading When Computer Restarts?

Dec 19, 2010

However that's about all that did. When I put the disk in and tried the demo and full installation option (or something along those lines), and then restarted my computer, it came up to the start up screen, and asked me if I wanted to run Ubuntu or Windows Vista. So I chose Ubuntu it came to the motherboard screen or whatever and that's it. Nothing else happened, I waited for about 20-30 minutes and it was still there.

So that's my issue, I tried the second option about installing inside of windows but for some reason I just get an error message saying I can't do that whenever it finishes loading. I'm trying to install the latest version 10.10, my computer definitely has the memory for it all

Ubuntu :: Dual Boot XP - 10.10 - Boot Screen Shows Up But Then Computer Restarts And Returns To The GRUB Menu

Dec 16, 2010

I followed a tutorial to install XP across my entire HDD. I installed Ubuntu 10.10 "Alongside another OS". Ubuntu loads fine, but when trying to load XP, the boot screen shows up, but then the computer restarts and returns to the GRUB menu.

I saw some threads on this site and tried to type: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

In the terminal. It returned a blank text document so I'm not sure if that information was outdated. I then typed: sudo fdisk -l

And got this:

Not sure what any of this means, but I sure hope someone else does. I would say forget XP, but it's hard to let go of some of the games and software I use. I appreciate any responses, thank you.

I tried to format the table as it appeared, but the forum corrected the extra spaces.

Ubuntu Installation :: Computer Says "Grub Loading" Then Restarts

Apr 7, 2010

I know this is an issue that has been brought up before and the solution I found is to recover Grub through the live CD [URL] However, this problem has occurred multiple times for me now. First time I thought it was just a freak error but it's happened multiple times within a short period of time (couple times this week) so I just wanted to get input on what's causing this and how I can fix it permanently. I've recently installed Ubuntu and I'm dual booting Ubuntu 9.10/Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.

Fedora :: Random Freezes Lead To Restarts

Nov 6, 2009

It's been freezing on me like you wouldn't believe today, and I think it has something to do with the load put on the CPU by various sites. The trouble is, I need to access a few of these sites to do my work. WordPress is one of them. I've had to restart the computer five times via SysRq keys since when these freezes happen, I can't Ctrl-Alt-Backspace out of it (even with zap enabled) and I can't bring up a terminal or Alt-F2 to kill process. I can't switch processes, windows, or anything. Firefox just sits there and laughs at me as I threaten to bust the screen in half.

And the real funny thing is, people actually say this is a better browser than IE. I never had these problems on Windows.What can I do to stop this? Do I just have to switch to another browser?

Fedora Installation :: Grub / Try To Boot - Flashes A Quick Blue Screen & Restarts

Jun 26, 2011

I don't really have any Linux experience. But I wanted to try it out. Now I'm afraid I did not set this up properly. Grub gives me 3 options:

Fedora (2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64)
Fedora (2.6.38.8-26.rc1.fc15.x86_64)
Other

When I select <Other> to boot into windows... it starts to try to boot... but then flashes a quick blue screen & restarts. I tried to boot into Window's normal mode, safe mode, and command line... all just restart fdisk -l gives the following:

Ubuntu :: Computer Restarts Every 5 Seconds?

Feb 13, 2010

About two weeks ago I installed ubuntu 9.10 desktop with a dualboot to my windows 7, which was already on there. everything went fine, but I couldn't configure my wireless to work, so after a few days I gave it a rest and basically forgot about; I just stuck with windows. anyways, yesterday night I installed a program called solidworks on my system. I woke up this morning, turned on my computer, and this is what happened-

it turns on for about 5 seconds, but when it hits "grub loading", after about half a second it restarts. it's basically an infinite loop, until i throw in a cd or hit f8, but I don't know what to do with either of those options, so I'm kind of stuck.

I'm posting this in the ubuntu forums because I have NO idea what's wrong with it, and no idea of where to start. I've got both installation disks, but I don't know what to do when I put them in. I've got an intel pentium 4 processor, and like i said, i've got a dualboot with windows 7 and ubuntu 9.10.

Ubuntu :: Ctrl+alt+dlt Which Restarts The Computer?

Dec 23, 2010

this problem has really been getting at me, I can't figure it out at all. About a week ago, I came home from school and found that my computer was shut down (usually I leave it on), I started it up in Windows 7 and a Malware Bytes scan said it found a virus "clipb.exe". Well, I decided to remove it, and when booting up in windows it BSOD's saying IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL immediately at the login screen. Same result in safe mode and "last known configuration". Well, I decided to reformat just because I didn't want to go through too much trouble, and about a week later (today) it came back. I have no clue how, I was away from my computer. But the difference between this time and last time is, I can't start ubuntu at all. period. It gets to grub, and then after that gets to a black screen with no progress. The only thing I can do is ctrl+alt+dlt which restarts the computer.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Upgrade - Shutdown Restarts Computer

Jul 31, 2010

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, and ever since last upgrade a couple of days ago (I think), everytime I hit shutdown on the gnome-panel (admittedly, I haven't tried the command line shutdown) the computer restarts itself. This computer is dual-booted with Win 7, and the shutdown command there properly halts the system.

Debian :: Computer Restarts After Being Shut Down

Jul 12, 2011

I've come across a problem just recently where my laptop will restart after I shut it down from within Debian. I've looked into my BIOS for anything that might trigger this, but could not find anything. I run Debian Testing 64-bit on a Dell Inspiron 17R laptop.

Ubuntu Installation :: Computer Freezes During The Upgrade?

May 24, 2011

Just wanted to upgrade my desktop computer and after the terminal shows:

Installling new version of config file /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd ...cups start/running, process 7944

The display froye, mouse does not move any more, keyboard does nothing, no chance to escape into a text terminal. Nada. After rebooting the system I get a kernel panic. This is now second of two upgrades to 11.04 that failed, and I do not know how often upgrades failed previously, but rather often.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 - Computer Freezes On Reconfiguring Graphics

May 3, 2010

Yesterday I updated my computer from 9.10 to 10.04. When I restarted my computer it appeared this message:
Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode. The following error was encountered. You may need to update your configuration to solve this.
(EE) No devices detected.

After that, it comes a window with the question "What would you like to do?" and 5 options...
Run UBUNTU in low-graphics mode.
Reconfigure graphics.
Troubleshoot the error.
Exit to console login.
Restart X

I'm going now with the first option, because I used to reconfigure graphics but my computer freezes with no aparent reason in the login window. I have a HP Pavilion 7956.

Ubuntu Installation :: Computer Freezes When Hit 'upgrade' On Package Manager

Feb 23, 2010

I seem to have a small problem. Since september, i hooked up an old Acer laptop (with just 560 RAM and a 16 mib graphical card) to a computer screen, a keyboard and a mouse, so that i had an extra 'computer' for my mother to use. Old people prefer bigger screens to ponder upon.

But anyways, each time i want to update or upgrade the 9.04 Ubuntu distribution, it freezes. This is quite annoying since i really want it to upgrade to 9.10, for possible faster results.

Ubuntu Installation :: Computer Randomly Freezes And Caps Lock Light Blinking

Feb 11, 2010

I installed Linux yesterday alongside windows vista. Everything went very smooth. I restarted the computer multiple times without issue, and the menu would pop up asking me which os to load. Everything was good. But today I attempted to boot up my computer and nothing happens. The screen just stay black. The lights come on on the laptop, but nothing else. Either I try to boot it and it goes on then off quickly, or it just sits there, still on, with a black screen. I don't know if this is related, but when I was messing around with ubuntu yesterday after I installed it, it would randomly freeze and my caps lock light kept blinking on and off. I was forced to restart when this happened and then everything would be ok.

General :: Cousin Unplugged The Computer - Freezes And The Computer Reboots Over And Over

Apr 17, 2009

I boot linux from a usb drive so I can carry my distro wherever I go - I've been doing it for quite some time now and it's always worked wonderfully. Problem: This morning my little cousin unplugged the computer WHILE I was booting into linux. Power loss has happened before, but with no ill effects. This time however, it's decided it won't boot. The screen clears, and just as GRUB is about to load, it freezes and the computer reboots over and over.

I booted to a LiveCD of Ubuntu to try and fsck the drive, but it won't mount the volume. I've worked with this install so long, and have customized it so much I **really** don't want to do a reinstall.. What can I do?

Ubuntu :: Session Restarts Itself - 'black' Screen Of Death / What's Going On?

May 15, 2010

I'm having a really odd problem since I upgraded to 10.04 on my IBM T40 laptop. Every now and then, especially if I'm using Firefox (so it seems), I will be in the middle of something and suddenly I get a black terminal screen that flashes a few lines ending in "checking battery state" and I get bounced back to the login screen. I log back in and all my work is gone (Firefox and whatever else was open has closed). I was on the web for a while tonight and in a few hours it did it three times. I never had this happen before in 9.10.

Any idea what's going on? If it matters I'm on AC power when this is happening. I haven't used it long enough on battery to know if it does it then or not.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Freezes At Splash Screen?

Jun 14, 2010

I upgraded a week or so ago to 10.04, and everything was working fine. Then suddenly a few days ago the computer froze at the splash screen on startup. Thinking it was just some sort of neurotic, temporary issue, I restart again, but no luck -- same problem.

In terms of what I changed before the problem happened, I don't recall changing any system settings. On possibility is my changing things to skip the login screen and go strait to my account, but I believe I had done that a few shutdown/restarts before.

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgrade To 10.04 - Freezes On The Screen

Jul 19, 2010

Yesterday I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 (32 bit). Everything seemed to go well with no errors until the point where the system needed to restart at the end. After it restarted (and every power cycle since), it gets to the "ubuntu" screen with the moving cycle of square dots underneath, and stays there for ever. The screen resolution is absolutely goofed up, the word Ubuntu cannot be clearly read (looks like it is way overdriving the monitor). All letters seem to have like vertical bars on either side.

Below the Ubuntu and the dots, there appears to be two lines of completely illegible text (they just look like multicolored boxes about the size of characters.

I tried using the shift key to get to grub and try to boot into recovery mode--no luck. I tried using grub to boot to the previous kernel--no luck. It just sits there at the Ubuntu screen with this weird resolution/appearance.

I can boot from the Live CD and things work fine. I can see the file system, grub files etc. Any help debugging this would be most useful.

Ubuntu Installation :: 11.04 Freezes When In Dual Screen?

May 11, 2011

I've been using Ubuntu 11.04 for some time now and I'm experiencing many severe bugs. One of this is very bothering and I still can't find a solution. I experienced many problems maybe related to this, but seems to have gone away by downgrading xserver-xorg-video-ati. Still anyway, when in dual screen, after some time, the screen completely freezes. The system is completely freezed, I can't even go to a shell, but I noticed it is possible to log in via ssh.

I've never had problems with ATI opensource drivers. Now I even noticed a logout problem anyway (which is known as far as I know). Is there anyone else experiencing the same? I found some others complaining about something similar, but not exactly the same and still no solution. Is it possible to somehow debug this when it happens? I have to note that I'm still using kernel version 2.6.35 because the new 2.6.38 is not booting at all. But I don't know whether this is the problem or not.
