I have been trying from many days to bring back the life to my old Pentium 4 machine having 1GB of RAM. But first when I boots it stucks here ( shown in the image)
Then I decided to to run the live-USB based Puppy Linux, it normally boots from the USB but got stuck again, this time on "Recognizing optical devices ".
Next time when I booted I turned off SERR error generation from BIOS, but again, it stuck at the same point, only this time it shows some error which I am posting:
I have tried many other OS but the same problem still persists. Please help me identify what is the cause of this problem.
