    Can't install any distro...

    Hi! I'm pretty new to linux, but not first-timer.
    I have problem with installing linux to my PC.
    I've tried to install Ubuntu, fedora and debian. Also tried various Live-cd distros.
    None of them worked. It's seems that when I'm supposed to enter the GUI installer, my PC just freezes.

    I got ATI Radeon X800XL vivo pci-e graphics card, and I thought it might cause the problem?

    Any ideas?

    Other specs
    AMD opteron 170
    2GB dual-channel ddr
    Abit AN8 mobo with latest bios
    Windows XP pro SP2 installed
    1x sata HDD
    2x ide HDD

    Hi and Welcome !

    Its a Graphics Card Problem. Install Linux in Text Mode. Its easy to fix Graphics after installation.
    Download Ubuntu Alternate CD. It has text based installer or Select 'Install in Text Mode' option in other distros.

    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
