Hello fellow Trisquel users,

Sometimes when I boot Trisquel, the screen will go completely blank. Sometimes I can get to the login screen, but the screen will go blank after I enter my password. Sometimes I have to reboot the computer by force at least twice before I can boot Trisquel successfully.

Trisquel also can't restart properly. Whenever I tell the computer to restart, the computer will shut down. When it tries to reboot, it will show a lot of white texts on the screen. I don't understand what they mean. Nothing happens after that. I usually have to force the computer to shut down and restart it manually.

I used to use Windows on my computer before I switched to Trisquel. Do you think these problems are caused by hardware incompatibility? Should I buy a new computer for Trisquel?

What are the causes of these problems and how can I fix them?

well is normal to have all those issues, it feels that your computer has a ghost... but first of all... did you checked your instalation disc for errors?

alsoe all the white text is normal...

i think is a incompatibility issue, but i dont suggest to buy a new computer... keep trying with the one that you have...

enter to h-node.org and check if there are already some infor of incompatibility of your hardware and if theres nothing. please contribute and put a report of your problems there...

This could help with the reboot/shutdown worries

You could try running the memory checker, e.g. off a Trisquel live CD or USB or from http://www.memtest.org/#downiso
