Due to power cut, My PC went off. Then, when I opened it, Ubuntu wasn't starting. I tried to run Ubuntu from live CD, it's not working. Now, what should I do? I can access BIOS and terminal from recovery mode.

Update:

I have 256,256 & 512 MB RAM installed in my PC. After unplugging two 256 MB RAM. I've only 512 MB RAM now and my PC now working fine.

Thanks.

If you can still access your PC's Boot Menu you could try loading Ubuntu onto a USB and running it off there (Check my answer here if you don't know how to do it) if you're fortunate that could work, otherwise could you please go into further detail:

  • Firstly does you PC load to the boot screen when you turn it on? (if your hardware was damaged during the power cut as it,you're probably going to have to send it back to the manufacturer)
  • Do you have access to the grub screen if you're dual booting?
  • If you are dual booting can you still access your files from another OS?
  • Does anything come up when you try running the live CD? Or no response at all?

Edit: I stumbled accross a fix for people who tried launching Ubuntu and ended up with a black screen, not sure if your issue is similar but this might be worth a shot if your graphics drivers had a bug because of the power-cut: Potential fix

Unplug all devices from USB, exept keyboard and try again. Also if you have add-on cards inside of the PC, remove all but the vga card for now to see if it makes a difference. Good Luck

I had something like this happen a few times and had to go through recovery mode and check the disk(s) and fix (needs to be plugged into Ethernet cable). I had it reinstall almost the whole Ubuntu operating system once. It completely recovered itself and fixed itself from not working at all. Only in LINUX!

I am just an amateur, maybe this helps.

you need to turn the power back on or the computer will not start, and if it is a laptop make sure the battery is charged or if you don't have a battery plug in the ac adapter, if your trying to turn it on then make sure the power adapters are in, and you are getting electrical currents to your house.
