Comment 183 for bug 132716

Having something like that on a laptop with ATI 345M graphics with 128 megs of shared ram, 690 megs of ram, and an Intel Celeron M 1.80 GHz processor. When I start up the laptop, everything starts out fine, and then when the Ubuntu splash screen (that's what I call the screen with the Ubuntu logo and that progress bar) is supposed to come up, i just get this screen that changes colors from black to white and other light colors randomly. It starts up about a fifth of the time, and if i hold down the power button to turn it off, it just gets stuck on the BIOS screen. Then I have to restart the computer about ten times to get back to the damaged splashed screen. An Ubuntu memory scan says there are no errors in ram. What do I need to do to what? I'm not a linux noob.
