Hi,

Thanks I will try this. I haven't yet because I've been really busy but also because I'm scared of messing up my system. :(

I had a problem where the computer wouldn't boot up after a clean install of LM13. None of the additional boot parameters did anything. I thought I had a nouveau / nvidia problem... What I found is that my BIOS had an option 'Execute Disable Bit' Enabled. When I disabled it, Everything worked properly. Somehow the installation media could run on the PC, but it wouldn't boot from the hard drive without doing this.
