USB Boot Fails, Old Hardware?
I created a Live USB drive with ~4GB of persistence with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS using Linux Live USB. I've used this tool a fair amount of times in the past to create keys to install dual-boot configurations on a few laptops and pre-built desktops. in the past. This is, however, my first attempt at even a live boot on a custom desktop. It boots into an options menu for me to select Persistent, Live, and a few other options. Selecting either Persistent or Live begins a boot process with the wall of text scrolling through before the screen goes black for a few seconds. Fans then max out, and my screen displays "No Signal" as opposed to "No Connected Device" when the machine is off.
Hardware is pretty old.
CPU: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 @3.0GHz
RAM: 8GB DDR2, some random Kingston sticks needed to replace the gaming RAM that died when the old PSU blew.
MOBO: Asus Maximus Formula
GPU: NVIDIA GTX 460 (EVGA) Hooked up to a Samsung 42" Smart TV through an HDMI to DVI cable.
The most I've done in BIOS is change boot order.
