I went for the 32 bit flavour because it said "recommended" even though i've got a x64 i7 !!! ....... im wondering if its a gfx card problem ?!?! if so how do i get round that ?!
Try the x64 version and see if it works. Probably not a graphical problem.
was a gfx card issue ! took out my big card and put in a crappy old hd3450 (my back up card) and it boots up fine !
