Linux Lite Forums

I am new to this system, as I had just installed yesterday Linux Lite2.2 32bit; and today upgraded it to the latest version(2.6). The problem I have , with both versions, is that whenever I click on Firefox, chrome or help, the computer gets frozen and paralyzed completely; however, the wire internet connection is on. I had to restart over and over again for so many times (during these days) in vain. Before sending my comment, I searched y'r site and also googled and nothing there. The OS is installed on a separate HD, with Windows 7 starter on the other one. Desperately asking for help, appreciating any input to the effect.

Thanks a lot

Hi,
So people can help, if you can give us your set-up that will help.
Open a terminal by pressing the keys: ctrl alt t then enter the following command:

Code:
inxi -F

Then highlight and copy the text in the terminal window. Then using "code tags" paste it in a reply on this thread.

Have you tried installing an NVIDIA graphics driver?

If not, go to Menu->Settings->Install Drivers. Under the Additional Drivers tab, choose the latest NVIDIA driver that says proprietary tested. Apply Changes and then reboot. Maybe that will help.

I first installed the relevant NVIDIA graphics drive (it was missing ); and then applied the second instruction(Menu-Setting-Install Drivers) which fixed the problem (of using both browsers: Chrome and Firefox).
Thank you so much for yr prompt help.
