Greetings,

Try this

Boot only in runlevel 3 and see if you are able to access the console. If Yes do startx there and see what happens.

I suspect this to be with the nVidia chipset (Intregated/card)

Regards

Hello, It is neccessary for you to install a Swap partion. Without Swapo partition ur linux installation will give u problem. Try to install the linux by makin a root partition of req. space. As you have 512 mb ddr Ram make a swap partition of 1000 mb . No need of makin other partitions if not neccessary. Thank you.
