ok i have installed 14.04 and added backport then update & upgrade. So far so good no crashes as yet.
Its now notifying me that i need to install my nvidia drivers. It recommends nvidia 346.
I have not clicked/ticked it yet though because i know as soon as i do i will get some strange stuff start happening. If i log-off or shutdown it will take ages and more importantly it will give a long internal beep before the computer finally switches off or logs out or reboots (whatever it was doing). It has done this on every distro , every version & every driver version except nouveau (whatever it called). I cant just use nouveau as everything tears very badly.
Im not worried about the tearing just yet as i have got a few methods that might work to solve that but the strange long shutdown time and bios beep just before shutting down/restating i really should look at.
So i suppose as im starting again i should take a look at this and see what you chaps say about it.
thx.
