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

when you get offered the boot options look for instructions on setting boot options (space or f6 or something) the choose nomodeset and then choose your boot .
If this gets you up and running then this link may help you get the right drivers
