Question #77516 on Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77516

    Status: Open => Answered

Tom proposed the following answer:
The first thing is to try a LiveCd session of Ubuntu - so, put the Ubuntu cd in the cd/dvd-drive and reboot the machine. It should take you to a menu saying "Try ubuntu without changes to this machine", if not here's a guide to help
https:/ /help.ubuntu. com/community/ BootFromCD
choosing that default option to try Ubuntu should get you to a working desktop that we call a LiveCd session, if it works. This LiveCd session should have firefox on the top taskbar able to surf the internet into here.  

Please go up to the top taskbar and click on

Applications - Accessories - Terminal

and into the terminal/command window/console try typing

free -m

and copy&paste the results into here.  I think maybe your Ram is less
than your swap size so i think we may need to increase the size of your
swap.  I think the display crashes may either be caused by a loose cable
or by something wrong with xorg.conf or something wrong with your
x-server.

Good luck and regards from
Tom :)
