computer broke? Options

[jmjlinux586]

Hello,
I just finished updating some programs with
synaptic, and tried rebooting and it did not
completly reboot.
I unplugged it and tried to restart the computer,
it started to boot and I see a lot of lines going by with
green ok's.
It gets so far and then I get a blank black screen,
and no x window.
I hit control+alternate+delete and the screen shows
shutting down lines go by.
I don't know why it is hanging somewhere between
boot start and x windows.

Any Ideas???



I am writing this from the live CD.

This works right but the installed version won't boot,
What's up with that????????

Hello,
This e-machine/HP computer is updated with 256 ram.
PCLinuxOS runs great, it doesn"t need a light version.
I am not a gamer so I don't need all that speed.
I just need a computer that works and PCLinuxOS
is just right for me.

Thanks
