Hello all. Looking for a pointer or two after having a failed install attempt of Linux Lite.
The laptop is an older one, A Dell Inspiron 8200. RAM is just 1GB, CPU is a Pentium 4. Originally it was running Windows XP but recently had Xubuntu installed. That didn't seem to run well so I tried to install Linux Lite.
During the install an error dialog box popped up indicating that the machine should be rebooted. It would not go through the reboot sequence so I held the power button down until it shut off.
I now have a laptop that will not stay powered up. It comes on, the optical drive spools up and then the system shuts down.
Suggestions?
TY.
