Ubuntu experts needed

I'm not entirely sure where to begin with the amount of overwhelming problems I'm having with 14.04 currently so I guess I'll just make a list

1. 9 times out of 10 when booting I get stuck at a black screen or at the purple screen with the ubuntu logo

Now this happened when I first installed I tried nomodeset and it worked just fine, however a few days later it started happening again with the added bonus of fully locking up my computer with the only solution is to hold down my power button reset and hope it works the next time

2.if lucky enough to get to a desktop more then likely my left and right mouse clicks won't work for some things like clicking on tabs in Web browser or cancel button in a window however at the same time I can click on anything in my hotbar left or right and it will work as normal

3.on occasion when all the planets have aligned and my machine boots and my mouse works as intended my performance is slow at best, for example I can click on Firefox, go make a cup of tea come back and it seems to be a like playing russian roulette if it decided to open, open then crash or just not open at all

4.if I turn my monitor off for any longer then 2 seconds then it's a lucky dip if what's going to happen next, iv had the machine freeze completely, iv had it ask me if the internal clock has run backwards (which at thus point made me laugh quite a bit) and the latest seems to be the screen flicking like it's at a rave

5.this one is more annoying then bad I can't actually shut down my machine properly by using the shutting button on the desktop then it freezes while shutting down so what I have to so us either hard shut down by holding down my power button or by selecting restart instead and turn the computer off at the wall before it reboots

Now your probably thinking,f%*k that and why don't I run do a clean reinstall, I have, a few times now, for the individual problems iv discovered that there doesn't seems to be a fix for the mouse problems despite the fact a thousand other people are having the same issue, for the performance problem iv installed the few drives I need like my ati driver and for the boot problem I haven't come across anything to fix it yet

Mobo crosshair v formula z

CPU amd 8350

Ram 16fb of trident x

Video card 2 his 7970's

Boot drive is a vertex 4 ssdssd

I apologise if iv left anything important out since its currently 4:15am and iv typed this all out from my phone

Obi-Wan Kenobi you're my only hope

Does it do the same with 13.10?

How long ago did you install this distro? Have you been having these problems from the first day? If so, you might have a corrupted copy of Ubuntu.

I would suggest that you install the correct drivers if you haven't already done so. Check the MD5 Sum of your downloaded ISO for any discrepancies. If neither of them is the source of your problem. Then backup your data and try a different distro. Please keep in mind that you do not need to make a fresh install to try a new distro. You can create a live usb with the help of LinuxLive USB creator or Unetbootin.

Hope it helps!

wow, so many problems

 

 

1. i never had a problem like this turning on (or off) my Ubuntu 14.04 machine 

 

(something's very wrong with your operating system installation friend)  :blush:

 

 

delete all

 

create a new OS DVD (or CD) Ubuntu 14.04

 

 

last time i see something like this on a OS (Windows 7 in this case) was the HDD that start to die

 

(and i buy a new HDD and all work perfect from there)
