To make things short: I bought a Lenovo S410 (http://tinyurl.com/conol2p), Kingston V300 SSD, and 8GB Patriot DDR3. Put them all together and wanted a dual boot Ubuntu/Win7 with third partition for storage. I'm installing off a new Sandisk Cruzer USB drive.
However, I installed Win7 with legacy boot settings and MBR and even after installing all drivers from lenovo.com, I would get constant BSODs. Tried Win8 and same results.
Then booted Ubuntu 13.04 with UEFI and got freezes during install. Tried Win7 with UEFI and the installation freezes as the windows logo starts to appear.
Question: what am I doing wrong? Never had these problems with any other rig. Is it maybe a bad RAM chip or bad SSD? Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks!
