As the title says. My install constantly freezes up (usuall during expanding files). This happens with 4 different ISOs both CD and USB. I managed to install it a couple of times but it just freezes then anyways. My comp is OLD (2004) but it easily meets the minimum specs and surpasses what people using netbooks have. The issue for me is age I would guess. I still have the original mobo (4-5 years old). Its not the DVD drive because I already tried it with that disconnected. The vid card is new but could the onboard video thats still there be messing with the install. Sound card? My biggest fear is its the mobo because there are no new updated BIOS for it that I can find and its so outdated replacement is out of the question. I'm left with a few possibilities that I can try:
1- try install with no USB devices attached
2 - remove original network card (never use it anyways)
3 - strip RAM to original 512 stick for install
4 - disable onboard video/sound (how would I do this)
If you need info for my comp its a emachines T3116 with added ram/video card
PLEASE help! I am at my whits end here and you ARE my last hope!
