There's your problem. Did you kill the x session and run it from the root terminal? The installer won't work if you don't do that. In some cases you may have to change the permissions to make it executable as well using the chmod command.

HUH??? You have to realize that you are working with someone who is computer illerterate when it comes to Linux.;) I found the terminal but I can't get further. What command do I use to kill the session? I have the Nvidia driver on the desktop.

Here's some step by step instructions on what to do: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/foru...itory-install/

Try the instructions in the first post first. If that doesn't work try the ones in the second post. In my case I had to do the ones in the second post. Just remember, linux is case sensitive so if a file or folder has a capital letter in it, that letter must also be capitalized in the command.

I will go through the instructions tomorrow and see if I can break something. Thanks. Will let you know if it went through this old head.

i just have no idea on what brands of fittings and tubing i should be buying
currently im also using primochill uv blue cooling fluid
this is before i installed the dual 280x's and the rm1000 psu

i do regret not buying the kit with the 460 rad , cause at the time i thought i was going to buy an r9 295x which came with its own radiator so by getting the 360 it would have let e fit it

and huge difference over my evo 212 , with the evo i was able to get 4.7ghz stable now im up a touch over 5ghz

What motherboard is this? Are your cards in the correct slots? If you have one in the wrong slot (wired for x4 versus x16), it expect it could cause this problem. Otherwise I'd be looking at the graphics drivers or PSU.
