Well hello,I ve had My gateway computer for about 3 yrs now......recently I installed ubuntu 8.10,atleast tried...becuase it seemed to install correctly as a partition. And I know how to partition. It asked for me to reboot to complete the installation so I did. After that my PC booted into multiboot screen allowing me to choose Windows XP or Ubuntu,so I chose ubuntu.......I waited and waited but ubuntu wouldnt load up so I had to shut off my computer manually, by holding my PCs power button.............bad news is that ever since That day,My computer wont start up normaly...it would start up and not show anything not even the Bios.....Only sometimes i can get my computer up normally........but if i shut it off its a really hard to get it back on...maybe due to multiboot, anyways, below are the things ive tried already.....and sorry for this long paragraph I wrote, I want to be real specific about my problem :
1)I ve tried reformating 5 times.
2)I ve tried resetting the boot record
3)reconnected all my PCs cabling
4)checked to make sure My cable outlets are working
(In simple terms) eversince I installed Ubuntu...My computer wont boot up properly,What can be my problem....Is it possible that ubuntu could have messed up some of my hardware........Or should I try restting the boot record again.........Help would be really and I mean really appreciated
