monitor problem with both Fedora 13 and Ubuntu 10.04

[grandpa_simpson]

I'm trying to boot off these two discs and after each one displays the splash screen, the monitor (which is a crt monitor) kicks into standby mode and doesn't come back.

It doesn't happen when I boot off the hard drive into Windows Vista

It doesn't happen with my Back Track 3.0 Live disc either.

I tried switching from my video card to onboard video in cmos, but no good.

I tried removing the video card and plugging directly into the onboard video, but no good.

I tried starting with only one ram module at a time, no good.

I tried removing all other peripherals, no good.

I actually tried using another monitor too, but no good.

I tried booting the discs from a different drive as well, same thing..


The two discs work fine in my other older computer...


Can't figure this one out..

Even the Fedora forums have turned up no help on this issue.  I just burned the latest Kubuntu and the same thing happens.

The previous versions of these distros work fine.. What these discs have in common is that they are all the latest version...  lack of driver support maybe ?


I went ahead and just went with a previous version of Kubuntu..
