well everything was working great with the gamers ed. and today it stopped booting. i get to start it from grub and then it just hangs as soon as the boot screen comes up.....

More than likely Your system is being "force checked" drop to recovery mode from GRUB screen after that loads you should see a message "system has been mounted XX number of times" and at the you will see a scroll starting, let that finish and re boot, This happens every 25-45 boot's you may bypass this by taping and hold the "esc" key as system stalls !

Might look here..
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
There is alot to read....You also might try when you get your Grub menu comes up....press "e" and then enter "noacpi" ....
You just might have a hardware issue...happens sometimes with a update....

ok thanks again for the quick reply's........I did let it sit for about an hour and nothing I will try the noacpi first thing

Ok I tried the no acpi and nothing.....any ideas ......I might just reinstall....and see what happens

Sometimes a reinstall is the answer......there is times an update will bork your system...kind of why I keep 3 kernels checked...
Here is a site which I have found very useful.... http://www.howtogeek.com/tag/linux/

Hi, how do you do a system check at boot i don't get a choice at grub it just jumps straight into the splash screen, and never gives me the option to choose a kernel.

cheers
