Cant Install ANY versions of Linux

Hi All
I have a desktop that i'm wanting to install arch onto, which currently has windows 7.  It has a Gigabyte GA-Z68P-DS3 Motherboard, Nvidia GeForce 550Ti Graphics Card, Atheros AR922X Wireless Card etc ... Now when i insert any linux distro and reboot, everything starts fine, i get a splash screen and then everything goes blank.  NO gui or CLI at all ... I tried to do a net-install of arch but it complained about dhcpd errors when trying to connect via ethernet to the router ...
Any suggestions please ?
Many Thanks

If so, try installing the bare minimum initially - no X, video drivers etc. - and see if you can at least get a working base system in place before you have to worry about X etc.
I can get arch base to install ok.  X-Server installs ok, but when it comes to Nvidia, on reboot i get a blank screen, no prompt or anything.  I installed Nvidia drivers from the repo, but no joy.

    cant install any version of itunes on windows vista, does anybody know of a fix?

    Since you don't say why it won't install, here is what I have found to work on a Vista machine, 32-bit:
    Download but do not install iTunes file from Apple site
    Stop anti-virus and firewall
    Restart computer
    Login as Admin
    Run iTunes installation
    Turn anti-virus and firewall on
    Restart and login as regular user
    Vista likes to leave a lot of installers running in the background even when they finish and that interfers with the iTunes installer.

    Oh! yeah, to the original poster; in future give us some specifics; like what kernel version, what distro, where did the kernel panic, what code and did it provide a register dump too???

    Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
    In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:

  • I had firefox4.0 installed in my PC. There was a glitch in the browser so I uninstalled it and now when I am trying to re-install any version of firefox, I am unable to.

    This is the message that I see when I try installing any version of Firefox:
    Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous uninstall of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

    Same problem when im trying to install any apps from amazon, or snap.
    I did not apply any system update last week.  I rebooted device several times. Also my  " other sources " settings is ON.
    my SV is 10.2.1.3062

  • Can't install any version of Safari for my Dad

    I'm visiting my dad, and trying to get Safari installed for him. Somehow he managed to trash it - we're not sure how. Now I can't install any version of Safari. 1.x is too old. He's running OSX10.4.10 so 2.0.1 doesn't work either. I really don't even want to put 3 on here - he's a very basic user and doesn't need beta headaches.
    The only disks we have are the system disks ... do I have to reinstall an old version of system to get Safari working for him?

    Hi
    Have a look at this Apple article for installing other software, including Safari, from the Tiger DVD - see the section titled More custom reinstallation options with Mac OS X 10.4.
    Steps to take in addition to the Apple article:
    Move the Safari.pkg file in the HD>Library>Receipts folder to the trash.
    As a precaution, prior to reinstalling Safari, move the Safari Folder, found in the User Library to the Desktop. It has the personal bookmarks, history etc. Once the reinstall is completed, move the folder back to its original location writing over the newly created folder.
    Remember too, the version of Safari you install will be specific to the Version on the installer DVD. Therefore, either run Software Update and see if Safari updates appear. If not, reapply the 10.4.10 combined update to bring Safari up to the current version.
    Repair permissions via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder when you are finished.

  • Cant install any driver for Hp NVidia gt230 on Touchsmart 600-1055

    Last few years I bought a HP Touchsmart oversea when I travelled to US then I brought it back to Australia. First couple months it was fine then one day I turned on the PC then It is just black screen after the window 7 boot screen then restart after few seconds. It keeps repeating that process unless I go to Safe mode and remove its NVidia driver and replace with window standard driver ( Video Controller VGA compatible) then I can boot up the window normally but cant use any program that require the delicated graphic card. I have tried hard to find its driver from every resources that I can find on the internet including Hp website and NVidia webiste but still again no luck. for 3 years I still cant find the driver for this that can make it working. What happened? is it my graphic card physically fault or because the software isusse? I forgot to mention that I even try to use the DVDs that I orders from HP USA and try to factory recovery but it is still having the same issue. I try to install many different version of window in cluding win 7 32&64 bits, Window 8 pro 64 bits then STILL NO LUCK. So could anyone please tell me what happened and how to fix it cause as I am aware that HP australia not support for HP USA product and I dont want to see my expensive desktop become a brick. 
    Thanks

    Hello Trung_Hau_Le,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand that you are having issues where you cannot use the higher end graphics card installed in your HP TouchSmart 600-1055 Desktop PC. The issue you are describing appears to be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contacted HP technical support for repair options.
    US support link to contact options for HP products purchased in the US.
    Outside of US support link to contact options for HP products purchased outside the US.
    Now just because you purchased the computer in Australia does not mean your warranty is not good in the US. I am providing you with a link to theHP Global Warranty and FAQs, which states the following:
    HP Global Warranty covers HP products at the level of standard warranty offered in the country in which it is used. For example, a product purchased in country "A" and moved to country "B" receives the current warranty coverage provided by country "B" (if that product is marketed or supported in country B)
    This means that your computer  receives the same treatment in the US as a computer sold in the US. I would recommend you contact HP Technical Support to have your issue addressed.
    I would like to thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

  • After Downloading and Installing any version of Camera Raw after 8.3 the installation completes but 8.3 remains, how can I resolve this?

    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium, with Adobe Design and Web Premium CS6.. I previously had this same problem installing Camera Raw 8.3  and as a work around back then, Adobe Support manually edited the Registry of my Windows 7 laptop to enable Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 to recognise the Adobe Camera Raw 8.3 software so I could edit my files from my then new Nikon D610 camera...  Now when I receive and install any updates for Camera Raw the installation says it was successful but the old 8.3 version of Adobe Camera Raw remains when launched via Bridge or Photoshop..  which means I am unable to edit any files with the New Nikon D750 , or even the D810, can someone please help me solve this issue once and for good.. Thanks, please?!

    Download the latest version: Parallels Desktop 8.0.18483. Uninstall the one you have then install the new version. The uninstaller will either be in your Applications folder or on the disk image for the version you now have installed.

  • Cant install new version old one still in use

    when i try to install new version it says it cant install as old version is still in use

    Make sure you have fully exited Firefox last by using the Quit option. In Mac OS X, applications do not automatically exit when you close the last remaining window as they do in other operating systems.
    If you are quite sure that you quit, it's possible that Firefox may have hung in the course of shutting itself down. In that case, you can read these instructions for 'force quitting' an applicaton:
    http://www.techiecorner.com/769/how-to-force-quit-program-in-mac-os-x/
    Only do that as a last resort though.
    Finally, uninstall your existing version of Firefox before attempting to install a new version. You can do that by opening the Applications folder from the Finder, then dragging the Firefox icon to the trash can.
