your query does not have enough information, so I can't help you

How To Ask a Question

Be precise and informative about your problem

-> Describe the symptoms of your problem or bug carefully and clearly.

-> Describe the environment in which it occurs (machine, OS, application, whatever).

-> Provide your vendor's distribution and release level (e.g.: “Fedora Core 2�, “Slackware 9.1�, etc.).

-> Describe the research you did to try and understand the problem before you asked the question.

-> Describe the diagnostic steps you took to try and pin down the problem yourself before you asked the question.

-> Describe any recent changes in your computer or software configuration that might be relevant.

-> Post the output of error logs, if present.

Provide your System Specs

Whether it is a Software or Hardware problem, always provide your complete Machine configuration, along with specific information about your Softwares.

yea myriadmagus, please provide more info... but at first guess you can try providing extra kernel boot parameter like " vga=792 " to enable vesa/safe mode graphics to see if it helps.

now how to exactly get to adding that parameter you need to research a little, like new ubuntu versions you press F4 and select safe mode and F6 then ESC then END to add that "vga=792" to the end of the boot line...

This is the worst mobo and chipset to be used with Linux. the graphics are poorly supported and there also problem of random freezing.

I won't suggest you run Linux(Any Version) on this hardware, its poorly supported. your overall experience won't be good

I am saying from experience I ran Linux on same hardware for about 2 years and it was frustrating.

Now I run Linux Intel c2d + Intel G31 and the everything works out of the box. graphics,network card. I didn't install a single driver and everything worked:hap2:
 
that via stuff might just work on latest distros, why not give it a shot before going for drastic step of upgrading whole rig just for linux :D

try ubuntu 9.10 and fedora 12 in case one or the other doesnt work well...
