ok I have some problems with installing this :S
and yeh I know I am a noob at this first time using linux

ok first i had a problem with IOMMU some thing about having to activate it and it would tak 64mb of my RAM
I didn't solve this but I got into the "installer" menu

I choosed the alternative that was with some graphic thing because first time i did i choosed normal mode but my screen went black

I am currently stuck in some dos script after i had loaded loads of codes and I have no idea what to do :S

It is not dos. You are in Linux command line territory now. This means X did not start(Your gui desktop). This usually means a graphics card issue(or a bad drive or disc).
Try using safe mode which will load a different graphics driver and see if you get a desktop. If not post back with your system specs and someone should be able to help you.

I can't get any further :S

like the computer I am using now I got yesterday so.

my specc are,

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA790X-DS4, AMD 790X, DDR2
CPU: AMD AM2 Athlon 64 X2 7750 Black
RAM: Kingston DDR2 HyperX PC8500 CL5 (1024 x 4)
GPU: XFX GeForce 9800GTX+ 765M 512MB PhysX
PSU: Hiper Type-R 580W

I should also add that my GPU lacks 1 6pins from the PSU since my PSU didn't have more than 1 :S

Have you tried running any other live Disc OS? To see if you get to the GUI (Desktop)...my first thought is concerns for this:

I should also add that my GPU lacks 1 6pins from the PSU since my PSU didn't have more than 1 :S

That's why I ask about running something else to see if your GPU is functioning or not...without proper electrical, many things won't function

what do you mean by Live disc OS? sorry for asking dumb questions

well I have gotten to install xp on it, tho have some power problems now and then

Here: Download, burn and boot this disc up and see if you get a working desktop.

xp is likely not as taxing on the GPU , are you sure your power supply is up to the task of running everything you have hooked up?

Yeah, you're right I missed the part about the 580 W power supply.

well the PSU I bought is 4 and half years old now yesterday it died so I need to get my new PSU today ^^

going for the Northq Black Magic Flex 850W in case I will upgrade the computer with a second GPU or smt like that

btw does HDD's require alot of W?
