Hi All.

Iḿ getting a lot of freezes, they happened a few weeks ago when I was running it on a much lesser gear, I bought the gear in the sig and it is a lot nicer to use but it still freezes regularly. Just now it froze but the music I was streaming in Firefox carried on and I could also move the mouse pointer. Iḿ guessing there is log file lurking somewhere you would like me to post...
 


Thanks.

Also could you go to a terminal and type this command and post the results back here.

Code:
inxi -Fxz
If you get an error message inxi command not found you should be able to install it with this command
Code:
sudo apt install inxi
Then run the command again.
Thanks.

Nvidia strikes again:-

Here's the Linux Driver for your Nvidia GeForce GT 710:

 
Yep, Sorry for the late answer I was thinking it may be an Nvidia problem. Try Alexzee's answer. Good Luck. If your not a gamer you can also install nouveau driver and change the grub boot line to include nomodeset. That will also work with most Nvidia cards.
 
If at all possible, I'd avoid installing NVIDIA drivers from their site directly. Using the .run file to install drivers pretty much never ends well - and means continual work every time the kernel updates.

However, I'm not sure how eOS deals with it. It's based on Ubuntu, so the following *should* work:

 
Also, did you ever actually go through your logs as suggested?

If at all possible, I'd avoid installing NVIDIA drivers from their site directly. Using the .run file to install drivers pretty much never ends well - and means continual work every time the kernel updates.

However, I'm not sure how eOS deals with it. It's based on Ubuntu, so the following *should* work:

Ok so
Code:
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

gives me

Code:
WARNING:root:_pkg_get_support nvidia-driver-390: package has invalid Support Legacyheader, cannot determine support level
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  maya-calendar-daemon
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove it.
0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 10 not to upgrade.

Am I good to go?

So I did a restart then after that I had a notification of updates that required a restart and now the comp is stuck on the motherboards boot screen.
 
Do you mean the bios screen? or the computer never shows the grub screen?
 
Do you mean the bios screen? or the computer never shows the grub screen?
Not either of those, just 'Gigabyte Durable'. I have swapped the ASUS video card in and out a couple of time and it works fine without it. Ultimately I want 3 monitors for that Batman/day trader vibe so it would be nice to get the card working.
 
Ok I downloaded E and I've got to say It's not very responsive on my system. At this point I think what I would do is use the live session and try to copy any important files to off computer storage USB stick or or other storage DVD etc. and do a reinstall or better yet install a different Distro. Say Mint or MX linux Mint with cinnamon would be the closest to gnome which E uses. Just my opinion but E seems to very much limited in what the user can and can not do and to me is not very transparent in what it does.
If you still want to do E then reinstall it. and start over. Good Luck in whatever you choose.

You'll need to purge existing drivers. Lemme find you a link...


However... That shouldn't stop you from having at least made it to GRUB.

I'm also now wondering if this is a faulty hardware issue. I too would try @kc1di's idea of maybe trying a different distro. During the installation, choose to install proprietary drivers (if it's an option).
 
Purged the existing drivers and done the auto install from the link posted.

Purged the existing drivers and done the auto install from the link posted.
