Computer Crashing - Tycho - 10-15-2015
Greetings and Salutations,
I have just installed Linux Lite on my Compaq PC, Everything went great until I tried to log into steam via the game manager provided with the installation of linux lite. Everything froze, then after about 20 seconds of wondering what I had done to cause this issue, the screen changed to little repeating echos of the screen all over at a bit of a angle. I tried moving the mouse to see if something on the mini screens now all over the monitor would move and nothing. I turned the system off and restarted, I tried steam again, exact same result. I decided to post on the forum and before doing so I thought to gather the system information to post along side the incident report. well guess what, as soon as I finished deciding where to save the file to, and it began to run the scan, boom, same deal. So I opened the computer and got what information I could. It has 2 gb ram, an AMD Athlon x2 cpu, and some variety of nvidia graphics though I don't see a stand alone card so might be the onboard. Please help!
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Tycho

Welcome!!
Since NVIDA drivers; I would reboot, then go to Menu, Settings, select Install Drivers - See what it finds under additional...
It wouldn't hurt posting the output of
Code:
inxi -FIt will capture your system config..
When posting use the code button (#) in the reply window..

Well I managed to get it to run through the install drivers under additional, the system was running some odd thing for a driver. I switched the driver to the recommended driver (which I might mention was far easier then I expected) and then everything seemed to work, I will run some tests for a bit.
*wanders off muttering*
should have thought of graphics drivers....
