Hey guys, I need some help/advice.
I have a laptop from a few years ago with Windows 7 installed, but I keep getting the Blue Screen of Death. I've tried virus scanning my computer with a lot of good software, but it still doesn't help, which leads me to my question. I was thinking about clearing my HDD of everything (including the OS), and installing Linux through the USB, using a normal flash drive. I know this might not fix the BSOD, but I wanted to give it a shot, since it would cost more to fix the computer than it's worth. So all in all, will I be able to install Linux (Ubuntu) through a USB flash-drive if my HDD is wiped clean?
