Ok here is the deal. I have installed it many times but can't seem to get it to go in this box. It's a Compaq Presario 7222ES with 133 MHz, 1.6 GB HD, 64 MB RAM.

When I get to the part where it starts to load X it ejects the CD and shuts down. Says can't probe monitor .... thats not the prob is it? A couple times it went all the way to installing packages and then hung up.

HELP

possibly a firmware problem
compaq uses a lot of cheaper components to keep down on prices (on board audio and video ect ect) if you do have on board video i would try using a pci video card and disabling the onboard outside of that i dont have a clue maybe try a different distro
