Trying to run linux. Get this thing. Help please, im at a loss. SPecs are follows:
Amd athlon x4 2.9ghz
AsRock g90gx
8gb stick of ram (I had a 4gb stick but it wasnt working so i replaced the ram with an 8 gb stick I found off an older pc)
1 tb hard drive
600 watt coolmax psu 80+
I guess thats it.
Anyways, PLEASE help! Im tired of this

(solved part): I ended up underclocking my cpu to dual core. Still have problems if not underclocked thou (running windows 7 now)

Please make sure the linux distribution you are trying to install supports your motherbd's chipset and components (sound, lan, graphics...)
