Bug Description

I have tried with Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 14. 04
With these versions, X crash, and I can open another console (Ctrl-Alt-F1, ....)
I have kept the log files, adding lspci -v and lshw outputs :
alternatives.log bootstrap.log gpu-manager.log apport.log casper.log
kern.log Xorg.0.log auth.log dpkg.log Xorg.failsafe.log
boot.log fontconfig.log lspci.log Xorg.vesa.log
lspci-v.log lshw.log

I have also tried with Ubuntu 15.10 and Ubuntu-Mate 15.04, and it crashes also,
but I can't keep something. Passing on Console 1 or 2 ...
I see error messages scrolling quickly on the screen.
I'm just able to read 'Error' and (pci...)
Keyboard don't respond anymore, and I must stop the computer with the button.

The X server crashes with a live-cd, in fact an usb device with multisystem,
but I don't think it could be the reason, as I use it without problem with other computers.

WORKAROUND: Install nvidia driver.

I have forgetten to say that this computer is new, and has never been used.
I don't want to use Windows 10, and I just want to remove it and install Ubuntu.

I can't do it, and my computer is unusable.

A+

I have solved the crash, installing nvidia driver. So it was perhaps due to nouveau ?

But now, I haven't the computer available (it was the one of a friend)

I'm not able now to test it, sorry ...
But I will try it as faster as I will can ...

Thanks
A+
