I have been using Lite for a few months with no problems, but recently my motherboard died and after I replaced it I could not get the PC to boot up (black screen). I tried the Installation DVD to get live mode and that only works in safe mode. I tried to install from safe mode and it seemed to install ok but after the re-start it hung up with a black screen. Is there anything I can check when in safe mode to find this fault? Please keep any advice simple as I am not very good with Linux.
Update:
I got Lite to install finally by removing the Graphics and wi-fi cards. I then replaced the wi-fi card to get updates, but I get an error. Here is the error log it gave me:
===========================
Install Updates Error log

Install Updates could not fetch the package cache information lists.

Reading package lists...
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock. It is held by process 2774 (apt-get)
E: Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists/
I have no idea what that means - can anyone help?
