I'm not getting any help from the xbmc forums on this. I installed xbmc on my brothers computer upon which I installed mint14. I start xbmc and the screen blanks out like it should and then it crashes. I did that yesterday. Today I tried it after installing Mint12.... same thing keeps happening. I think it might be a part is dieing. I think this because before I installed Mint14 the computer was a windowsxp machine. I gave it a hard reboot and after that it kept wanting to do a file system check but no matter what I told it to do it would just reboot. So what commands do I have to issue to troubleshoot the hardware? :-)~MIKE~(-:
