I downloaded Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop and have tried booting the ISO from a
USB stick and also installing it to my HD with Wubi. I used PDL-Casper-
RW-Creator to create a persistent file on the USB stick and added the
"persistent" switch to the Grub4Dos Ubuntu entry.

Unfortunately my experience has been just as bad, if not worse, as when
I tried Ubuntu 8.10 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1015354

When booting the Live iso from my USB stick, my display goes into sleep
mode (IE is receiving no signal) from the moment Ubuntu begins booting
until eventually the desktop appears several minutes later. If I was the
average punter I would probably have assumed it had crashed and
rebooted.

As I have some experience with Linux (barely), I thought to try Ctrl-
Alt-F1, which brought the monitor back to life and showed the terminal.
As soon as I switched back to the main window (Ctrl-Alt-F8 I think) the
display went back into sleep mode.

Once it had booted, I did "sudo apt-get update", which worked and then
"sudo apt-get upgrade", which did a lot of updates and then sent my
monitor back into sleep mode, requiring me to reboot!

When I tried to boot the Wubi install, again the display went into sleep
mode as soon as Ubuntu started booting but this time the desktop never
appeared and after about 5 minutes I rebooted.

My motherboard is a Gigabyte MA780G-UD3H and I'm using the onboard
HD3200 IGP and a Phenom II X3 720 and 4GB DDR2 1066Mhz RAM.
