Installing Linux Lite 32-bit on EEE 900 netbook

[Wageslave]

As the title implies, I am trying to get linux lite to install on my EEE 900.  I am booting from a flash drive, and when I get to the boot screen if I choose to start linux lite,  it will freeze immediately.  Memtest86+ will run but anything else freezes.

This computer has an Intel Celeron 900 mhz processor and 2 gb of ram.  I am currently running Ubuntu 14.04.5 and it works well, but a little slow.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
