I have ugraded the hardware of my (assembled) desktop PC - Motherboard: MSI Z590-A-PRO (MS-7D09); Processor: Intel core i7-10700 @ 2.90GHz; Memory 4 x 8GB Corsair Dual-Channel @1332 MHz (18-18-18-43).
Wanting to try out the different Linux OS software, I attempted installing Ubuntu, Linux Mint and a couple of other versions of Linux OS. While most of these would run from the live DVD/USB, none would boot up once installed on the HDD (SSD). Each instance of Linux OS installation was an independent setup on a full HDD (SSD) i.e., not alongside any other OS like Windows etc. Also, the live DVD/USB requires running the Linux OS in Safe Graphics mode or something like that.
From this I infer that the problem somehow is related to the Graphics system post upgrade. There is no separate graphics card installed, and I understand that this MSI board does not have any onboard graphics either.
The installations used to work fine with the old hardware (details not available), but refuse to work after the upgrade! And I know I am not making any mistake in the process of creating the live DVD/USB and the installation steps.
I am neither a software expert nor a hardware expert, although I do understand how to manage.
Can someone help with this please?
