[Nottingham] Can anyone help me get my PC working again?

[Bob Marshall]

Hello everyone.  My PC has stopped working properly with any kind of Linux and the messages I am receiving are both numerous and complicated, with some only appearing on screen for a very brief time.  As far as I am able to determine, Windows is working properly, but the problems with Linux, of any type, seem to be increasing with each new boot.

I have tried everything I can think of, which, admittedly, isn't a great deal, but have met with no success and I am beginning to think I might need to 'mend my PC with a new one' as my Mum would have put it.  It's quite a large desktop model and I haven't the transport to bring it in to a LUG meeting; if anyone would be kind enough to find time to come to my home and give me an expert opinion, I could offer a good supper - my wife is an excellent cook - and meet any expenses incurred.  

I am disinclined to 'dump' my machine, but if push comes to shove, I'll have to, so I am throwing myself on the good nature of the Group to give me a 'yes' or 'no'.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Bob Marshall.
