            I'm happy that you have a new machine but you don't tell us what kind of machine is.  It is a laptop, a netbook, a PC?  What amount of RAM?  Which processors?   Exactly, how did you install and what errors you had?  Do you know about live CD / USB that lets you try the Operative System before install it?
Things like that are very useful.  If you don't give us data we can't help you.



Kind regards,

It is a desktop - AMD FX9tm0-6200 Six-Core Processor  3.80 GHz
8 GB ram

I burned an iso to a single disk, and if I understand
correctly that is a live CD, but I did a OS install to
the entire disk after I partitioned it with GParted.

Have 64 bit Win7 on it now.

On Ubunto I didn't get anywhere most of the time, but once
I did get the install screen to show up, but after that it
just had a blinking cursor.

On Fedora I didn't have any errors until it did the ~380
updates.  Then it wouldn't boot, but instead gave error:
"GPU lockup - switching to software fbcon" and then
wouldn't go past a line that mentions verion 4.0 of
something, or something like that.
