Your APU and chipset should work just fine with Debian and they already have.
I'd try a fresh install and see if it works again. Then maybe run memtest for a few hours. It could be flaky hardware but I'd reformat and reinstall to rule out software being the problem first. Pay attention to any updates or changes to drivers after you install to see if they have issues. > Anyway about the computer > > CPU AMD E-450 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 1650 MHz > 4gb RAM On 02/23/2016 08:38 PM, Jim Craig wrote: > I installed the iso image from 2.6.8 on my dads laptop.
