[Kemel Zaidan aka Legendario <464710@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm hopeless since I don't have a "C state" option under the Performance
menu on the BIOS setup, and could not add the "mem=1G" on the 14.04 live
image.

My bios revision is 1.2.2

Title:
  LiveCD freeze on Dell Optiplex 740

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When booting on a LiveCD and selecting any choice (or not pressing on
  any key), the PC hangs on the blinking cursor "_".

  Affected computer : DELL OPTIPLEX 740

  WORKAROUND: Add "mem=1G" to the boot options. The LiveCD should then
  boot normally. Please note that this option is not necessary when
  Ubuntu is installed.

  WORKAROUND: The best solution so far is to go into the BIOS (press F2
  when the PC first turns on) and under PERFORMANCE menu disable C
  STATES CONTROL.

  AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.21.
