I even had to take a picture with my phone to be able to show you guys. I've added it as an attachment.

I forgot to mention that I can boot up the disk. But when I chose "Start LinuxMint 13 Cinnamon Edition", then i can't come any further.scharkalvin wrote:If this is an "X86" motherboard you should be able to disable the UFEI secure boot from within the bios setup menus.
It's unclear if the problem has anything to do with UEFI, much less Secure Boot. (Note that Secure Boot is just one UEFI feature, and a recent one at that -- most UEFI-based computers today don't even support Secure Boot.)scharkalvin wrote:If this is an "X86" motherboard you should be able to disable the UFEI secure boot from within the bios setup menus.
I upgraded my computer and I listed hardware. I thought it was pretty obvious that I upgraded my hardware, sorry for not being clear enough.srs5694 wrote:Jkw, I'm afraid your problem description is extremely imprecise. I suggest you post back with the following information:
- You say you "upgraded your computer." What precisely did you do? Was this a software upgrade, a hardware upgrade, or both? What component(s) did you replace?
- Does the computer have any software installed at all? (Windows? Linux? Anything else?)
- How is the disk currently partitioned? GPT or MBR? Posting detailed partitioning information (from "sudo parted -l" or a screen shot in a partitioning tool) would be helpful. If the disk is brand new it's likely to be unpartitioned.
- It looks like there's something in the upper-left corner of the screen shot, but I can't make out what it reads. Please transcribe it.
- At what point was the screen shot you posted taken? That is, before or after attempting to boot a Linux installer, and if the latter, at what point in the process?
- When you choose the "Start LinuxMint 13 Cinnamon Edition" option, what precisely happens? Does the system hang? Does the screen clear and then the system hang? Do you get another menu with an error message? Etc.?
- Are you trying to boot from an optical disc or from a USB flash drive?
I use the same DVD i used once, to install LinuxMint 13 x64 Cinnamon Edition on my old setup, nothing wrong with the disc. :-\scharkalvin wrote:Just for grins try getting ahold of other bootable Linux live CD's/DVD's and see what happens. I've had problems where one distro's live CD fails to boot, but another boots just fine. I'd try Knopix, slackware, debian, fedora, and maybe gentoo in additon to mint and ubuntu.
I see your post is 2 months old now, but anyway, did you manage to get it working? If so, how did you do it?TJF wrote:Hi everyone, first post here and first time Linux user... Finally making the switch to Linux!
I'm curious if anyone has made any headway with this? I also just built a new computer with the Sabertooth Z77 and I'm trying to install Mint 14 with no luck. I can boot the live CD and USB, and I can get to the point of creating the partition but when it starts to install it crashes on me. I've gone through a ton of forums and posts about this motherboard and so far I've ran out of ideas. Hardware is listed below, and if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.
