Weird stuff, don't know how to approach it to be honest.
Month ago I've installed Windows 7 on my PC, no problems at all. Now I wanted to install Linux on top of that. The trick is, no matter what Linux distro I use (tried Ubuntu from DVD, Ubuntu from pendrive, Fedora from DVD, Ubuntu from pendrive), they show a splashscreen, start loading and at some point the screen turns gray with some weird symbols and it crashes. Nothing happens anymore and monitor shows "No signal from video card" message.
Now the interesting part. I press the reset button and it doesn't start at all, BIOS is beeping 2-3 short beeps (hard to tell if it's 2 or 3), then 8 short, then after some delay another short one. Resetting again doesn't help. I have to turn off the PC, then turn it on again.
I have AMI Bios and ami bios beep chart doesn't really help...
Windows 7 DVD starts without any problem :/ I ran a memtest, no problems at all, loaded factory defaults in BIOS, no effect.
Any suggestions what could be the problem?
specs:
ASROCK M3A770DE
SAPPHIRE Radeon 6850 1GB
AMD Phenom II X4 965BE 3.4GHz
2 x Kingston 2GB DDR3 1333MHz
OCZ ModXStream PRO 500W
Asus Xonar DG
