Gringo Vermelho Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Try a more AMD friendly distro such as Leo4All or Zephyroth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least I think, the motherboard and GPU are the same. I have a HP G62. have you found a better way of installing? could you tell me what guide you used? THere are plenty of them out there, but i wasnt sure which one I should use, as none are specific to this computer.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
