i hope i did it right.............

you installed the server version or desktop version,
what is the output of sudo cat /etc/lsb-release

have you tested your RAM using Memtest86+ in Grub

output reads 12.04 LTS......................Andrew- do not know how to run that test...

Have any other pic which is a little bit clear avaiable?

Jason- sorry, no...........i can try to "hand write" what i see, however, that take awhile...

the first couple of lines look like this:

and so on............the numbers in brackets change each time this happens...i'm pretty sure the “messages” change as well, but have not paid close enough attention to that...
in order to get my wireless to work, I have to type in Terminal “sudo modprobe b43”...but do not know if this has anything to do w/what's wrong...

It looks like there are some problems with your wifi driver, can you check the output of dmesg, what error it is.

execute the command in the terminal: dmesg
what is the output.

dmesg= composite sync not supported

Can you give the information about your wifi.

Jason- not sure exactly what info you need...my son explained that when/if I want to connect to wi-fi,i have to put "sudo modprobe b43" in terminal. he said that "forces" a kernel(?) into the program/code line in order to connect...does that help? do u need info on on the type of modem?

yes, the type of wireless card.
b43? sounds familiar, are you using the Broadcom BCM43xx Wireless card.

i believe so...it's a bit difficult to get info from the machine, i can only keep it running for a couple of minutes before it goes all psycho on me :(

can you give the output of
sudo lspci -v

Jason- i'm trying to get that info for you...but i am having trouble w/Imageshack...it's not honoring my login info...is there another similar site/tool that i could use to get you a screenshot of what you need??? thanks.............

I think you can use photobucket, http://www.photobucket.com/
