Hey guys

I am having some trouble installing ubuntu on my laptop, it comes up
with a error and just boot loops.

i have screenshots of the errors if you should need them

the error states that the gpu is stuck.

the laptop has a nvidia geforce 8200m g i know that there has been
problems with nvidia cards and ubuntu but i have never come across
this

cheers

Can you just boot from the install disk/stick and run OK?

Can you boot it into a text screen - if so you should be able to load the nvidia drivers for that old (and normally included) gpu
and check the disk
