Hey guys,

I have been using windows for a long time now and have wanted to swap to linux for a while now. But for some reason every version has some sort of error.

- Zorin os 11 Live usb asks for a user name and password (It shouldn't do) and when i give it live and blank password it goes black like it tries to login and goes straight back to the login screen.

- Linux mint live usb boots but then says cinnamon has crashed and the computer freezes and i have to restart into the same error.

- Ubuntu live usb ran after alot of errors in the end with wierd bugs and very slow.

Im not sure whats causing these bugs.
If i skip the live usb and install. Would it fix these issues?

Thanks for anyhelp.

CPU - i7 4790
GPU - GTX 970
Motherboard - Gigabyte (forgot which type)

The only times I had issues like that is when the usb drive was actually going out. Try using a different usb drive or a usb 2.0 port. Also try different bios settings. Sometimes disabling certain functions and hardware will clean up system crashes too. But I believe it might be a bad memory cell in your usb stick that is causing the issue
