How to ask a "My Install DVD won't Work!" Question

[frenchie]

I've decided to make this in response to all of the users who are asking for help, but don't post enough information and in return don't get a response.

 

Things to include in a post:

 

1. You're question!

 

2. The dump .txt from CPU-Z. Simply open up CPU-Z and go to "About" then click "Dump txt". MAKE SURE YOU PUT IT IN

Put CPU-Z Dump here :-)

 

3. Include what install DVD with any DVD patches that you applied (e.g PPF's)

 

4. The message that occurs before the crash (This can be found when you boot with the kernel flag -v).

 

5. And finally any other information that is relevant.

 

This is what a sample question should look like!
