[SOLVED] Lite 2.6 stopped loading at Splash screen - nublix - 11-29-2015

First, I am a Linux newbie.

I only installed Lite 2.6 two days ago. I totally replaced Win XP, even set up the partitions as suggested when I asked on this forum. The installation went well, I think as I was able do the installs at first start up, set the screen how I wanted it etc.

Anyway today I turned on the computer and it has been loading for the last 45 minutes and has not gotten past the splash screen. I rebooted and got a screen with the following:

GNU GRUB version 2.02 ~beta2 -9Ubuntu 1.4
Description: Linux Lite 2.6 GNU/Linux
Advanced options for Description: Linux Lite 2.6 Gnu/Linux
Memory Test (Memtest 86+)
Memory Test (Memtest 86+, serial console xxxxxx)

At the bottom of the screen along with the up and down arrows for selection etc.

Press Enter to boot selected OS, 'e' to edit Commands before booting or 'C' for a command line.

Can this problem be fixed?
The computer I'm using is not very new. Pentium 4, 3.06 GHz, 4 GB RAM, 1TB Hd. As for Drivers, not sure what to look for but the mob is a D915GAV. Hope someone may have an idea what's going on.

Choose the first option 'Description: Linux Lite 2.6 GNU/Linux'
Then when LL is booting, press F4. This will show the boot text and show you where it's pausing.

This is what came out. Hope it's legible.

It might help to give more details on what you did after the install.

I assume this means after the install completed you installed the updates. As for the screen setup and etc. Please give more detail.

Didn't do much after that. I connected my HP printer wirelessly. Changed the desktop background.

The the F4 output I posted suggested any reason for the hanging?

edit: just remembered that the calendar on the task bar was all wrong. It's spelt 'novemberi' -neither English nor French. I couldn't fix it, even when I select the correct region.

I did the F4 thing and post a link (don't know how to insert images here) but no one seemed to be able to help. Is this issue unfixable?

Well, thank you for pointing out the rules. I imagine it's one of those things newbies are often guilty of overlooking. Nevertheless, I did see the image insert but the image is more than 500 kb.

Thanks though. Lite still not loading.

Have you made any modifications, changed anything, installed any software since you first installed LL? Please state any change, no matter how minor.
