    Status: Answered => Open

Randy_C is still having a problem:
It boots and runs fine from the install CD.  It has completed several
reinstalls with no power problems.  (I was having trouble with the video
and installed a couple of bad things.)  CPU 900mHz Intel P3, HD 20Gb
100% used for Ubuntu no other operating systems, RAM 512Mb.  It is
configured for single user automatic login.

When I ran Ubuntu from the CD the cold boot was successful but the
display problems are back.

As you know it goes through some text displays 2 messages it 2nd one
happens so fast I can't read it.  Then the graphic screen comes up with
the Ubuntu logo with a thermometer at the bottom.  A pointer flies back
and forth a couple of times then the thermometer begins to fill.

At about the same point every time the power clicks off.  No rhyme or
reason.  Sometimes it works first shot, sometimes I have to go through
10 cycles before a successful boot.
