Hi Michael 
Thanks for replying.
I have windows 7 installed and it runs ok. but wish to eventually install Ubuntu dual boot.

The GPU (Radeon 6670HD ) is on a PCI e. card the card is 2 Gig and doesn’t seem to be recognised by Ubuntu. as the initial start of CD the Ubuntu colour and screen comes up but within seconds after Ubuntu starts running it’s setup, the screen goes to lines and then the monitor goes into standby saying no signal.
I tried the motherboard D pin graphics slot thinking it may over-ride the PCIe GPU , then once I had Ubuntu running I could then download an appropriate driver. but I couldn’t get a monitor to work off the M’board D pin at all. so cant get past Go!

WIth Thanks
Bob
