Hmmm. I thought you specifically said you were turning to the list
because you were admitting defeat, sorry if I mis-interpreted.

But you have got some good advice, I'd look into a pre-built at first.

Posting your hardware might help as well, folks here would probably spot
it if you have hardware that might be problematical.

But perusing the WiKi, if you haven't already, will provide a wide range
of solutions to anything that won't run out-of-the box with a pre-build.
