Can't follow install prompts

[gold_finger]

Well pelouk,

Must say I'm stumped.  Don't see anything particularly troublesome about specs of your computer.  It should handle Linux just fine.

Just to clarify -- running from the live dvd's and usbs works fine; it's just when trying to install that you have a problem, correct?

Look where Jerry recommended after crash and report back any findings.

Try what Wirezfree suggested and see if that helps.

Grasping at straws next.  Maybe current hard drive is bad.  Do you have another you can plop into machine and see if same problem occurs?  (You don't have to install to it, just see if you can get past the point you're getting stuck at now.)

All distros that you listed as tried are Ubuntu-based.  Maybe try the following others that are not Ubuntu-based to see if that helps:

AntiX -- Debian-based; nice, lightweight distro that is fairly user friendly.  (I'm posting from a machine using AntiX right now.)  Here's a youtube channel with many videos on using AntiX.

OpenSuse  -- can't remember what (if anything) it's based on, but it's not Ubuntu.

Fedora -- based on RedHat
